A member asked:

Can i use claire's ear care antiseptic on my belly button piercing to help it stay clean?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Antiseptic solututio: If the procedure of belly button piercing was done by someone who used antiseptic technique, the rubbing alcohol or betadine solution would be a better choice on a daily basis until the area is healed after that regular baths and the use of an antibacterial soap would be sufficient.
