Clavical Surface Piercings

I’ve had both of my clavicals surface pierced for about 3 months now. They’ve been doing fairly well all-in-all, but due to some recent unavoidable trauma, are very irratated.

With previous experience, I’ve found that my piercings react badly to being cleaned with sea salt solution [mixed as 1/4 tsp sea salt: 1 cup water].

My question is, what other methods or mixes can I use for my piercings to ensure their speedy recovery?

thanks in advance.

Maybe it’s how you’re cleaning your piercings with saline that’s giving them irritation problems.

Alternatively, you could try not doing anything with them and just giving them a hot water rinse in the shower (not soaking in dirty standing water like the bath or in a cup, etc) to loosen off any crusties.

The thing with surface piercings is that they’re a lot to heal. They run a longer length under the skin than most other piercings and therefore have difficulty draining. Using heat in an aftercare regime (both wet or dry) will help increase the circulation to the area as well as encourage that trapped fluid to come out.
