Is it safe to soak my pierced ears in saline solution mix and clean with peroxide everyday?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A little harsh: I would not soak in saline nor would i recommend full strength peroxide as it may slow healing. Rinsing with sali e and cleansing with half strength peroxide every day is preferable.
