al-Mu'akhkhir

I got both lobes pierced the other day, reputable parlour - the piercer knew his shit.

Anywho, he recommended that I use epsom salts, sea salts or rock salts mixed with warm water to clean my piercings.

So. Basically what I do is just q-tip away any crusties around the piercing, wet the front of the earring with the salt-solution and rotate that part all the way to the ball. I do the same with the other side, and then using my fingers I rub the solution around the piercing as much as I can (I have big hands and small ear lobes..). Then I dunk my ears in some warmer water than when I used for the salt solution. Lastly I pat my ears down with a piece of kleenex (not ideal, I know, but I got nothing else to use...)

Is there anything any of you can see that I'm doing wrong? Anything that could lead to infection?


Any tips on taking care of my piercing are appreciated... halp me!
