A member asked:
Is it safe to use a hair removal cream on my stomach due to black hairs after getting a navel piercing ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Use caution: Protect piercing area with petroleum jelly or similar substance that depilatory can't penetrate. Use caution when applying depilatory around this area. If piercing does get depilatory in it, flush with plenty of water & watch for signs of inflammation/infxn: redness, swelling, heat, pus. Can use aloe vera gel &/or antibiotic ointment. See doc if infxn occurs.
