How long does it take a nostril piercing to heal entirely? also, how soon can i stop rinsing with salt water? (piercing is a week old).

Piercing: Facial piercing can take up to 6 weeks to heal. After care should be practiced religiously although it may still get infected. In case you think it is not healing properly, consult a physician to see if it is infected.

Piercing: At least 3-4 weeks. Can clean around site with hydrogen peroxide using q-tips. Also can apply antibiotic ointment 2-3 times a day.
