What are good care treatments for cartilage and lobe piercings?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Peroxide/Ointment: Keeping the sites very clean and coated with antibiotic ointment is preferred. Use of dilute peroxide (half water/half peroxide) is not very irritating. Coating with antibiotic ointment to avoid scabbing is part of quality care in both areas.
