How to get the best outcome and give your new healing piercing/dermal the best chance in thriving
Personally my rule is the "kuzco rule"
✨️NO TOUCHY✨️
No hair
No fingers
No cotton buds/pads
No tooth floss or brushes
No prolonged moisture
No rubbing dry (pat gently with a clean towel after bathing)
No sand
No swimming
No early jewellery change not recommended by your piercer
NO TOUCHY
The only thing coming into contact for the next while with your fresh piercing is your piercer recommended cleaning solution and maybe a bandaid if recommended piercing/modification dependant
Or if oral,
No hot liquids
No playing with or biting it
No early jewellery change not recommended by your piercer
No fingers
Only mouth wash, soft foods, and plenty of ice pops and iced drinks for swelling
