[Edit] |
From breast cancer to menopause, the health conditions every woman should understand.
Answer
yes it does because when you get chlorine in it it dries up the tissue and casues it to be sore and a can get infected
I have mine recently peirced and I swim in my pool all the time and it isnt infected
Answer
You shouldn't really be swimming in any bodies of water during the time your piercing is healing...and I think that includes pools too lol
Answer
YES! Chlorine causes the tissue to dry up, which is one problem BUT a bigger problem is that pools are FULL of germs from other people, even with chlorine the germs are everywhere and spread easily with water. While it is best to swim in natural water or a salt-water pool, you can still swim but you should clean the piercing right after.
A: some germs are resistant to even high ranges of chlorine! Why risk an infection
