Never clean a piercing with rubbing alcohol. It dries out the hole and is bound to get infected. Instead use sea salt soaks 3 times a day until it is healed. Take 1/2 cup sea salt half cup warm to hot water. mix well then soak piercing for 5-10 minutes every day until better. also use fine grain sea salt which will help it dissolve and mix better. also i would suggest using Dial foam antibacterial hand soap when washing piercing about twice daily every day, even when your piercing is healed. Its very important to wash it everyday even when its not infected to keep it clean and healthy.Health Question & Answer
