So how to clean my septum piercing?

Question

I just got it done today long story short. I won't have sea salt for the next 2 days maximum. and i don't have much at home. we have no antibacterial soap. well we do but its scented. and we have peroxide. what did you use or if you are a body piercer(certified) what do you recommend for temporary cleansing?

Answer 1

u should always clean body piercings with antibacterial soap

Answer 2

if you dont have any of that i recomend just regular bar of soap for now . but buy antibacterial and seasalt ASAP .  

Answer 3

Mix a little bit of salt with some warm water, take a q-tip and swab it. Also, if you can... lie down and pour it up your nose. Try to avoid touching it with anything for a while.  

Answer 4

I've been getting pierced at Punktured at Off Ya Tree for the past 11 years. They now have studios everywhere, but my favorite is in Adelaide. If you phone them they'll give you advice for free. They also have an aftercare page on thier website.

Better to ask an expert directly because most of the stuff in these answers is contradictory.

Answer 5

do you have saline spray? if you do, put it on a cotton ball, warm it up in the microwave then leave it on the piercing for about 20 minutes. In all honesty, it doesn't matter too much as long as you keep your hands off of it.

Answer 6

Wash it with whatever you have, scented or not, and leave it be.

Don't use peroxide or rubbing alcohol (ever) because they're far too harsh.

Leave it be until you have sea salt and even then, don't over clean your piercing. My eyebrow and nose piercings have all healed fine without being cleaned religiously. Don't stress.
