Warm water mixed with sea salt to heal piercings???

Question

i have an infected ear piercing and i want to know how much sea salt you need in the solution and how to apply it. and out of all things why sea salt??? and also what kind of ointment should i put on after, if any???

Answer 1

but about a teaspoon in about a cup of water then for ur ear apply it with a cottonball

Answer 2

I once in a while get my ears infected mostly do to the fact that when I put on my earrings there not always clean. Usually I don't do anything to them the shower from the soap cleans it and it just clears up it self. If it doesn't clear up use Hydroperoxide and a cotton ball. Don't use rubbing alcohol, it  might clean you're cut but will dry it out. Rubbing alcohol is mostly used for sterilizing things...Like your earring when you put it back into you're ear after you have cleaned you're ear.  

Answer 3

If its swollen make sure you dont take the earring out. You need the hole to stay open so that it'll drain. If you take it out it could close and you'll have a lump there. Some people will get infections from piercings if theyre not wearing real gold no matter how much they clean it. Just a allergic reaction from silver and other types of medals. You can find a cleaner at places where they pierce ears. I got mine done at a tattoo shop and they said you can use a teaspoon of salt in a cup of water and apply it with a q-tip for a home remedy cleaner.
