Many of us have a nose piercing and we like to wear nice body jewellery to show it off. Like any other piercing, regular cleaning helps to keep it from infection and remove debris from the area. If you do not take good care of your nose jewellery and piercing, they will get dirty and you could easily get a nasty infection. Here are some useful tips for taking care of your piercing and your nose jewellery.
After the Nose Piercings
If you are thinking about going for a nose piercing, it is not as simple as getting it done and then putting in whatever nose jewellery you like. You must take care of the piercing and your nose jewellery on a regular basis. It takes several weeks for your nose to heal and in that time, you must clean the area to ensure nothing goes near the wound. If something gets inside, it can become infected and you will not be able to wear the nice new nose ring you just purchased online.
Follow these aftercare tips to ensure your nose heals in the quickest possible time.
- Use a saline rinse at least twice a day when cleaning the area.
- Wear the original jewellery until the piercing heals.
- Do not change the jewellery as it could cause an infection.
- Always wash your hands when touching your nose and jewellery.
- If it gets infected, visit a doctor immediately.
It is important to follow the points above to limit your risk of pain and infection.
Cleaning the Nose Piercing & Jewellery
Once the piercing has healed, you will not need to clean it as often as before. To prevent infection, clean the area using a saline rinse and a soft cotton ball. We recommend cleaning the piercing twice a week.
In addition to cleaning your nose piercing, you will also have to clean the nose jewellery. Anytime you buy new jewellery or clean the piercing, make sure you pay attention to the jewellery. You can use regular saline or soap and water to remove debris. This gets rid of bacteria and other unwanted substances.
When you get a nose piercing, it is important to follow good aftercare tips and take care of the hole and jewellery. New piercings take a few weeks to heal and the best thing you can do is keep them clean and eliminate the build-up of dirt or debris.
