Piercing Aftercare Guide - Sideshow Productions

 

Congratulations on your new piercing from Sideshow Productions! Proper aftercare is crucial for a smooth healing process and ensuring the longevity of your piercing. Here are the comprehensive instructions to follow:

Immediate Aftercare:

• Cleaning Routine: Spray NeilMed Wound Wash directly onto the piercing twice daily for the first 4 weeks. This keeps the area clean and aids healing.
• Handling the Jewelry: Do not twist or move the jewelry. Movement can irritate the piercing and disrupt healing.
• Discharge Management: If discharge doesn’t rinse off with the spray, gently clean it with a cotton swab or gauze moistened with Wound Wash.

During Healing:

• Normal Reactions: Expect some bleeding, swelling, tenderness, or bruising initially. As healing progresses, there may be discoloration, itching, and a whitish-yellow fluid that crusts over the jewelry.
• Careful Sleeping: Avoid sleeping on the piercing to prevent pressure and trauma.

Post-Healing Care:

• Jewelry Movement: Once healed, the jewelry might not move freely. Do not force it.
• Hygiene: Continue cleaning your piercing as part of your daily hygiene routine.
• Piercing Closure: Healed piercings can close quickly, so keep the jewelry in place to maintain the piercing.

Important Reminders:

• Internal Healing: Piercings heal from the outside in. Be patient and continue cleaning throughout the healing period.
• Infection Signs: Seek medical attention for signs of infection like excessive redness, swelling, or unusual discharge.

Long-Term Maintenance:

• Ongoing Care: Maintain good hygiene at the piercing site even after it’s fully healed for long-term health.

By following these guidelines from Sideshow Productions, you’ll ensure your new piercing heals properly and remains healthy. For any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to contact us!
