Description
This aftercare bundle was put together for people that have a healing bump on their piercing(s) and consists of Sea Salt, Glycerin Soap, and Tea Tree Oil.
Healing bumps are filled with drainage, dead skin cells, and other wound debris that can become trapped from lack of aftercare or using things like Neosporin and Bacitracin. They are not super firm and are almost “fleshy” when you touch them. They may also fluctuate in size, starting very small and growing, then going back down again especially after soaking. Healing bumps indicate that the wound is unable to drain. They do not mean the piercing was done incorrectly, or that you are allergic to the jewelry.
These are fairly common and can go away with a very thorough aftercare routine.
We recommend non-iodized sea salt, glycerin soap, and Tea Tree Oil.
Soaking is necessary for piercing to drain. It’s recommended to do soaks 3 times a day with a new piercing but you can do it up to 10 times daily if you’re trying to get rid of a healing bump. You put 1/4 teaspoon of salt to 1 cup of warm water and soak the piercing, making sure both sides are submerged. This allows the solution to flush out what is trapped.
The glycerin soap should be used once a day, last in the shower and removes makeup, facewash, other product residues before they make their way into the piercing.
Tea Tree Oil is an essential oil that is known for its antifungal and antibacterial properties. This can be applied topically.
