Wash your hands thoroughly prior to cleaning or touching your piercing for any reason. Spray saline or run bottled water or distilled water over the front and back of your piercing 1-2 times daily, but don’t over do it!  Use non-woven gauze or spraying saline directly onto your piercing. During healing, it is not necessary to turn or rotate your jewelry. You’ll know your ear is healed once any discharge, swelling, redness, flaking, or soreness stops.
