Attention: Do Not Use These Items To Clean Your Ear Piercings
In a video by a US-based piercing studio, LuLu’s Body Piercing, they attended to a client who had an infected hole caused by improper aftercare practices. The girl’s helix piercing was so swollen and inflamed that they had to take out the earring. They needed to squeeze the pus out, too!
Apparently, the client applied soap directly to the piercing and dabbed tea tree oil on it, too. While both products are considered to be antiseptic, these may be too harsh on punctured skin.
They suggested that clients use a fragrance-free anti-microbial soap diluted in clean water to wash the piercing. They also emphasized that tea tree oil is best for bumps. (You can find an extensive list of aftercare solutions here, too!)
