Then, dampen a cotton swab or gauze with a saline solution (you can create your own by mixing 1/4 teaspoon of non-iodized sea salt with 1 cup of warm distilled or bottled water). Gently wipe around the inside of the piercing to remove any debris or buildup. Avoid twisting or turning the jewelry. Rinse with warm water and pat dry with a clean, disposable paper towel. Repeat this process twice a day until fully healed.
