Hello Just want to know if 2% chlorhexidine is any good for piercings? or if I should just throw it away and get some saline or make some salt water?
Chuck it, it's too harsh for fresh piercings. Warm sea salt soaks (1/4 tsp salt to 8oz boiled or distilled water) up to 3-5 times a day are the best way to go. Rinse with clear warm water after every soak without touching/turning the jewelry. Clean with a gentle antimicrobial (not just anti-bac) soap 1 or 2 times a day. The best soap I've found is CareTech Satin soap. Most importantly of all, aside from washing it with the Satin, use the LITHA method (Leave It The Hell Alone) while it's healing Good luck.
Hmm i think that antimicrobial soap may become hard to get, is soap without that of any use? (Soap without perfume or other stuff)
Yeah, although antimicrobial is ideal, any gentle perfume and dye-free soap will do. Can you get Dr. Bronner's? That's the next best thing.
