🧪 Daily Care Timeline

• Days 1–3: Use TBC Piercing Solution 3 times daily. If piercing is irritated or tender, continue using the solution for up to 3 days. If you did not purchase the solution, saline solution is fine.
• After Day 3: Clean with sterile saline solution once or twice daily until fully healed.
• Wash hands thoroughly before touching your piercing.
• Remove any crusting or debris using a sterile cotton swab soaked in solution.
• Pat dry with a clean, disposable paper towel; do not rub.
• Check jewelry for tightness but avoid unnecessary rotation - moving jewelry can irritate tissue.
• Use q-tips/earbuds to assist in cleaning your jewels.

🧴 DIY Saline Solution

• ¼ teaspoon (≈1.5 g) non-iodized sea salt
• 250 ml warm distilled or boiled (then cooled) water
• Stir until dissolved; use once daily
• Soak a sterile gauze or cotton swab and gently apply to piercing for 1–2 minutes
• Discard leftover solution; never reuse

⚠️ Infection Risks & Lifestyle Guidance

• Signs of infection: severe redness, swelling, pain, pus, or fever - contact your piercer or doctor immediately.
• Swimming in pools, hot tubs, or open water can introduce bacteria - avoid until fully healed.
• Gym/exercise: avoid heavy friction, sweating, or pressure on the piercing during early healing.
• Avoid unnecessary touching or moving jewelry; hygiene is critical.
• Piercing aftercare is vital; repiercing or adjustments may be needed if healing is interrupted.
