I recently discovered the wonders of Emu Oil which I use on all my piercings and it works great with clearing up oozies, redness and overall healing. The instructions tell you to apply to piercings and tattoos 3 - 4 times a day, but I was wondering if there is any harm in applying emu oil to a cotton ball then bandaging it over the piercing over night? I’ve done this for the last several nights on my new surface piercings and they look great with no redness or crusties, but I don’t want to cause them harm unknowingly.

Your piercings need to be able to ‘breathe’ and drain any lymph, keeping them covered and saturated with oil is not ideal. Emu oil is popular and many people find it effective on healing or troublesome piercings, but I would apply it sparingly - less is often more with these things!
