Can I put coconut oil on my new belly piercing?
Coconut oil or almond oil are highly recommended during the first two months of your piercing healing. Both oils contain natural antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. Apply with your clean finger, no q-tips, place a small amount near your piercing, and avoid moving the jewelry.
During the healing process, you should do the following:
- Avoid hot tubs, pools, and lakes. Your wound can come into contact with bacteria in the water.
- Opt for clean, loose-fitting clothing. Tight garments can irritate the area and trap bacteria.
- Protect the piercing.
- Avoid the sun to prevent sunburns.
