I would also like to add that sea salt soaks are one of the BEST things you can do to heal faster...as well as taking a multi-vitamin with Zinc and Vitamin C in it.

Anyone who says sea salt soaks shouldn't be done is not giving you the right information. Do these soaks before you clean it with soap in the morning and in the evening before you go to bed.

P.S the salt soaks will also help get rid of the redness faster

Please take a look at this site...it's very informative http://www.safepiercing.org/bodyAftercare.html
