Female Exotic Piercing Aftercare
You
have just received an exotic piercing using the best implantation
steel jewellery available. The aftercare for these piercings
is very simple due to the nature of this tissue and the location.
Mucous tissue heals quite quickly due to the enhanced blood
flow in this tissue. How ever care should be taken not to
irritate this sensitive tissue with heavy soaps that contain
dyes, scenting, moisturizers or deodorants. Use a gentle liquid
anti-bacterial soap such as Soft Soap brand liquid anti-bacterial
soap or Spectro-Gel 609 during normal showers and bathing
and the cleaning of the piercing should be the last area cleaned
before exiting a bath or shower.
For Horizontal hood, Vertical hood, Inner labia and Clitoral
piercings.
(Healing time 6 to 8 weeks)
Apply a pea sized amount of the liquid anti-bacterial soap
or Spectro Gel* to your hand and add to this a small amount
of water, lather up the soap and apply it to the jewellery.
Work the soap into the piercing gently as you rotate the jewellery.
Using clear running water from the shower head irrigate the
piercing while rotating the jewellery to flush all the soap
out of the piercing. Exit the shower and dry this area using
clean facial tissue. towels can retain bacteria and may pose
a risk during the initial stages of healing ( the first few
days up to 72 hours ). * Spectro-Gel 609 does not lather and
is not a soap but a mild cleanser recommended by dermatologists
Once dry, nothing else should be used on the piercing, unlike
navel piercings and other piercings in normal tissue, mucous
tissue doesn't generally need a healing agent or anti-septic
to assist in the healing process. In some cases use of such
products will trigger a swelling to occur which is very painful
and quite uncomfortable.
If inflammation occurs, irrigate the piercing with lots
of running water and rotate the jewellery if possible to allow
the water to rinse the irritant away, irritation may last
as short as 5 minutes to 15 minutes or longer in some cases,
irrigation with water will ease the burning and the inflammation
will ease. Cleaning of any piercing should be done as a daily
routine when in the shower or bath as routine maintenance.
As with any exotic piercings, care during sexual activity
should be exercised during initial contact, use of condoms
and avoidance of oral contact is recommended until the piercing
is fully healed.
For Outer Labia piercings.
