How To Care For A New Belly Button Piercing

belly buttonIf you have just had your belly button pierced, it’s easy to get exited about it and you can get impatient about putting in your new body jewellery, but there are some simple rules you must follow first to insure that your piercing does not get infected.

After getting your navel pierced you will probably feel some pain after the anaesthetic cream wears off, this is normal and nothing to be alarmed about. Try not to bother or touch your piercing with your bare hands too much, this could agitate the wound and increase the chances of infection. Instead you should stick to a simple cleaning routine. This should involve washing you navel piercing twice a day – once in the morning and one in the evening. You can use a ready-made Savlon antibacterial spray. Another great method recommended by specialists is to get a shot glass and fill it with a saline solution (salt mixed with water), then lean into the shot glass and let the solution touch your skin for a minute. This is a great natural way to avoid the spread of infection and help heal up the wounds quickly. Follow these guidelines and your belly button ring will look great in no time. Enjoy your new piercing!
