Answer 1

no wrong it cleans you ears from any germs duh

Answer 2

i think you should just use antiseptic. that's what i use for all my piercings.

Answer 3

Peroxide is okay to use on any piercing, I've pierced my eyebrow, nose and lip myself and always cleaned it with peroxide. Or you can put neosporing on the ring and around the outside where the piercing is and it will help it heal faster and better
