Has anyone gone the whole "Leave it alone, let it heal on its own" way when it came to your piercing?

Question

Letting your body fix it naturally without the help of soap, sea salts, etc. Anybody done it?

Answer 1

No, that's how piercings get infected. "Leave it alone, let it heal on its own" means not to play or touch it, unless you are cleaning it out.  

Answer 2

yes, and it resulted in a HUGE infection. i had a huge lump at the back of my helix piercing, had to take it out and was on antibiotics for a week to fight off the infection. not good.

Answer 3

yea, when i pierced my ear.

i think its a waste of time with all those things since some people think that u cant pierce their ears or something because it reacted bad...but it could of been the chemicals or stuff. dat made it react bad.

Answer 4

i had that mentality with gonnoreah. but it just got worse...
