Aftercare
Body Piercing
After the procedure, individuals should avoid public swimming pools and spas to minimize infection risk. Contact with the piercing site should be limited to cleaning, which should be performed once or twice daily with antimicrobial soap and water. Oral piercings require antiseptic, alcohol-free mouthwash. Healing times vary based on the location of the piercing, individual factors, and aftercare.
Side Effects and Risks of Body Piercing
Due to the lack of regulation and incident reporting, estimates of adverse effects from body piercing are inconsistent. However, understanding the potential complications is crucial.
