You don't want to put Epsom Salt OR table salt on ANY piercing. They contain sugar and will cause infection. The ONLY thing to put on a fresh piercing is SEA SALT. Using 1/4tsp of sea salt with 8oz. of warm water, and soak the piercing for about 10 minutes twice a day. It is the best thing to help heal your piercing. When you are in the shower, use Dial soap to clean it also. But sea salt soaks are amazing for helping heal a piercing.


When cleaning a piercing does using uniondized salt hurt?

If you were to clean your piercing with salt by itself, it would certainly hurt! What people actually clean their piercing with is saline solution- a mix of sea salt and water. (A good ratio to use is 1 table spoon of salt per cup of water.) The saline solution itself should not hurt your piercing. However, sometime cleaning a piercing will irritate it. This may hurt, but the salt is not responsible.

Use antibacterial soap like Dial use sea salt to make it less swollen . Clean it around twice a day . The sea salt won't clean it but it helps make it less swollen . Use either the natural sea salt=water or an alcohol free mouthwash for rinsing your mouth. Dial can make your skin really dry so only use it 1-2 times a week. The natural sea salt is fine for everyday.

How to clean naval piercing with salt water?

When I got my naval pierced, the piercer told me to use salt water to clean also. First I had to dip a Q-tip in warm soapy water. I had to use Dial liquid hand soap, the orange kind. I rubbed the Q-tip all around the piercing, without removing it. I then rinsed the piercing with warm water to remove the soap. I used a salt water solution that was made by combining a gallon of bottled water and 1 tablespoon of sea salt. DO NOT use table salt. After creating the mixture, following my piercer's directions, I dipped another Q-tip in the mixture and rubbed it around the piercing. I rinsed it again with regular water and dried it carefully with a paper towel. Now your done and your piercing is clean! Hope this helps! (:
