Question 1

What should I avoid while healing?

Accepted Answer

Avoid:
 • Touching your piercing with unwashed hands
 • Makeup, lotions, or skincare on/near the area
 • Submerging in pools, lakes, hot tubs
 • Sleeping on fresh piercings
 • Changing the jewelry too soon
 • Alcohol or peroxide — too harsh and slows healing

Question 2

Is swelling normal?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Mild swelling for the first few days is expected.
 
Using a clean cold compress for short intervals can help.

If swelling becomes severe or painful, reach out.

Question 3

What is the bump on my piercing?

Accepted Answer

Most bumps are irritation bumps caused by:

• Sleeping on the piercing
 • Snagging or pressure
 • Using incorrect products
 • Low-quality jewelry
 • Early jewelry changes

I can help identify the type of bump and advise the correct fix.
