K, i know what they told you, about the acne wash, but I have 4 surface peircings and both of my nipples peirced in a X so 2 on each nip. So i can tell you as having MAJOR sensitive skin that this wash recomended by most peircers made my body try and reject the peircing. What I found worked, is this hemp soap. Its called MAGIC soap it has like 118 different uses its natural and comes in a few differnet soaps (DR Boones?) its at almost EVERY health food store, and works like a charm, even gets rid of that dry crusted matter that is left behind while its healing. I STRONGLY recomend trying it out, its creap too, and you only need like a dime amount in your hand. I use it almost everyday, and my skin (and nipples) LOVE IT, i have told all my friends and they all love it too! Just be sure not to get it in the female or make nether-regions (aka hood peircings etc) as it may dry out that area and make you a bit uncomfortable (just a heads up ladies)
Hi
i have heard that -xpressions spray from the tattoo goo guys is great for this. give it a try
I’ve got both of my nipples pierced. I got them both done about April, the piercer where I went told me to use dial antibacterial soap. I’ve used that and they’ve healed really fast and really well. I’ve even been able to change the rings already.
as a profesional tattoo artist and piercer, I can tell you that there are a million diffrent things that you can, and your friends will tell you to, put on a new piercing. What works? expressions by tattoo goo works pretty good, but if you want to keep it simple, Bactine works fine, 3 or 4 times a day. Use a Q-tip to apply as fingers and finger nails harbor bacteria
