A couple questions about my cartiledge piercings (esp. salt rinse)?

Question

they're on my ear and there's 4 of them in a row, I need to do a salt rinse.

Would it be easier to...

put the salt water on a washcloth

OR

awkwardly put my head sideways into a shallow dish with the salt water in it?

ALSO

my piercer told me I didn't need to put Neosporin or anything on my piercings, but my keloids are getting kinda weird and I was wondering if it could hurt to at least try it?

thanks.

Answer 1

boil some sea salt in water, let it cool and then soack something disposable such as kitchen towel or cotton wool in the warm salt water and thourgly bathe the whole ear, as for the keiloids it depends how new your peircing is, im guessing quite resent- then i wouldnt do anything other than salt water or just plain water- give them a chance to heal clean and chemical fee

hope you love the peircing when all heales and pretty! xx

Answer 2

USE A PAPER TOWEL OR Q-TIPS. never use towels! they can carry infections onto whatever piercing you are cleaning and can get caught in the earring and cause you to irritate it and rip it out.

your piercer should've told you that. you can also use dial soap.

Answer 3

put it on a washcloth
