What advice can i get to take care of my newly pierced ears?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pierced ears: 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.
