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!
