Glyoxide - This is a Body Jewelry product that contains hydrogen peroxide and hinders healing rather than aiding it. Ear Care Solution - Solutions that are provided by jewelry boutiques and department store piercers usually contain alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, and other harmful chemicals that only aggravate a new piercing. Ointments - Antibacterial ointments or similar products only clog pores and/or kill good cells trying to heal the piercing. New piercings and sometimes irritated heavy gauge body piercing jewelry piercings can greatly benefit from a sea salt soak. This simple remedy can soothe pain and even draw out infection when it's done properly.
