A member asked:
So i got a cartilage piercing and im on my 4th month of accutane, how should i make sure that it doesnt get infected?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Infection: Although you can not prevent infection 100 percent I would recommend keeping the area clean and dry. Also, a topical antibiotic may help, but check with your peircer if that is OK
