My ear is healing nicely. I wash it twice a day and put Neosporin on it. The Neosporin is really helping it a lot. Now I have itchy ear, due to the healing process. The piercing looks so good.


Yay for Neosporin.

Yay for spermies.

If that is really islandman in that av I'm in drool. I have to wonder pink, how do you sleep? It has to stay in for awhile I imagine. Can you sleep or have you rolled over on it? Neosporin is the best!

So you went that route instead of the intense butt plug therapy I recommended?

I'm glad it's doing better.

OHHHHHHH NOOOOOOO I have never rolled over on it. I would have cried. Now I can gently position myself on that side but it is still tender.

and no, that is not islandman. He is teasing us.

No butt plugs for me, twin.

Thanks, it is doing really well. I was told it will take 6 months to totally heal though.

Put some small curd cottage cheese on it.

Did your doctor recommend Neosporin? The reason I ask is that whenever I had stitches after hand surgery, the doctor specifically prohibited Neosporin or other ointments. The problem seems to be that, despite its antibacterial function, it keeps the wound moist and actually prolongs healing.

Better apparently to keep it clean, but allow the skin to dry out and form whatever scar may come your way.

Just my $.02.
 
Colonel is right.

Bacitracin is actually what you want to be using, but in very small amounts.

I believe Neosporin would come in handy a few minutes later.
 
Dunno, all I know is it feels 100% better than it did before I started using the Neosporin. The people who pierced it recommended putting the Neosporin on it.
 
I would think that under these circumstances a slower, lubricated healing process might be better. Keeping things elastic while the area firms up rather than ending up with something super hard and dry...? Then again I have no practical experience and may be tooooooootally wrong.

I like your assessment above, Pink....it feels 100% better. 'Nuff said.

Happy to hear it's better.

It may feel better now, but when using neosporin you are continually keeping the sight of the piercing moist, and by keeping it moist you aren't really allowing it to heal.

I know they may have said to use that, but it's incorrect information.

The best thing you can do for your piercing is to use a sea salt soak.

By doing that you are both keeping it clean and you are able to keep it dry.
 
As a piercer, the only issue I can see with using neosporin is that it would mean your hair is more likely to stick to the piercing - and hair is notoriously dirty and an infection risk.
But the ointment would kinda counteract that anyway.
I can't really see a major negative.

I do need to get some sea salt.

I've always had really bad healing when it has come to my tattoos and piercings. I don't know if it's to do with allergies I have, or what.

All I know is that once my friend Chuck stretched my ears and told me to use only the sea salt solution, I didn't get the infections I did via other methods, and they healed much nicer.

Pretty much every piercer will have different advice for healing.
And speaking from experience I can tell you that only about 1 in 10 clients will actually follow that advice!
If it's feeling better, and not doing any major harm, I say carry on. Industrial piercings do tend to put a bit of tension onto the cartilage as they almost never can be done perfectly straight. So using the neosporin is probably keeping just enough pliability in the piercing, meaning it won't be 'pulling' so much as when it's completely dry.
And like I said, it's not really doing any harm.
My only advice if doing this is to wash the hair thoroughly every day to minimise the infection risk when the hair sticks to the ointment (and remember to rinse shampoo and conditioner away from the new piercing, as some ingredients in them can irritate newly forming skim.)

I am a huge fan of sea salt rinses. That was my standard aftercare advice.
In all my years piercing, I only had a handfull of clients that got infections I couldn't fix, and in each case it was because they didn't follow aftercare advice, like jumping into a spa before the piercing sealed, etc.
