Can you tell me how i could clean a barely new bought piercing?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Piercing: New piercings are usually cleaned twice a day. Do not twist jewelry / post. Saturate gauze w saline solution (pinch of sea salt in warm water), place on piercing & allow it to gently drip into the piercing. Or you can buy pressurized saline solution at a drug store. Are you referring to the jewelry?
