Safety and Precautions
When it comes to your nose piercing, knowing what not to do is just as important as knowing how to maintain it. To maintain a nose piercing:
• Don’t apply over-the-counter antiseptics, including Neosporin. If you think your piercing is getting infected, continue your saline rinses and see your piercer for advice.
• Don’t use hydrogen peroxide — this will cause irritation in the piercing.
• Don’t twist or play with your nose jewelry, as this will irritate the piercing.
• Don’t touch your piercing with dirty hands.
• Never share nose rings or studs with other people.
• Don’t ever force a ring back into the piercing hole. This can damage your skin. If it’s not going in right away, gently insert the ring in a clockwise motion until it sets.
