A member asked:

What do you recommend i put on a dermal peircing?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Water: Avoid peroxide and alcohol which are just irritating. Avoid bacitracin ,neomycin, triple antibiotic as they are useless as well as sensitizing, causing allergic reactions. Avoid herbs and anything "natural". Water and vaseline are useful. Use surgical (stainless) steel or 14k gold metal.
