You are planning to have a piercing. The GGD and we believe it is important to inform you in advance about a number of possible risks.
Getting a piercing is a skin-piercing procedure. By using the correct procedure and equipment, you must prevent yourself from being infected with blood-borne diseases, such as Hepatitis B and C.
In addition, poor care and unhygienic treatment (by yourself and the piercer) can cause wound infections that are harmful and do not make your piercing look any better.
A newly applied piercing can be compared to a deep wound in your skin. It is very important that you take good care of the piercing. The piercer will give you verbal and written instructions on how to do this.
The instructions should include how to care for the piercing and that you should contact your GP if you have any complaints (severe redness, swelling, pus, wound fluid). The wound caused by the piercing needs time and care to heal. Healing a piercing wound can sometimes take a long time (from 4 weeks to 9 months).
Wash your piercing twice a day with Sebamed soap or a sea salt solution. Wet your piercing with warm water, remove any crusts from the ring and piercing. Wash the piercing with the soap and move the jewelry back and forth so that the soap gets into the piercing. Then rinse well and move until all soap residue is removed (if the jewelry does not want to turn at a certain moment, do not force it, only wash the outside).
Do not use pure alcohol (not even Sterilon), hydrogen peroxide or Betadine (iodine), because this causes the piercing to dry out and become irritated.
– Rinse your mouth approx. 8 times a day with yellow Listerine, diluted with 50% water.
– Do not play with your piercing (leave your tongue in your mouth) and keep it cold with ice cubes etc. reduces swelling.
– Avoid kissing or other sexual-oral contact for 6 weeks.
– Wash the outside of a lip/labret piercing with Sebamed soap (see cleaning).
