Lobe Aftercare

Expected healing time: 6-8 weeks.

• Wash your hands before cleaning or touching your piercing.
• Clean atleast twice a day. Soak a cotton tip and clean both sides of the piercing, gently removing any "crusties" (dried lymph).
• Do no rotate your new piercing. This can cause tearing to the new scar tissue forming. Your skin will naturally 'let go' of the jewelry when healing.
• Do not remove your jewelry to clean your piercing. 
• Repeat piercing clean after submerging in any unhygienic bodies of water(bath, pool, ocean etc)
• Stay Healthy. A healthy body can heal much faster than a run-down one.

What to expect initially:

Localized swelling, tenderness, and/or bruising.

What to expect during healing:

Itchiness, secretion of a whitish-yellow fluid (not pus) that will form a 'crust' around and on the jewelry.

What to avoid:

• Cleaning your new piercing with alcohol or any harsh chemicals as it can cause irritations or infections.
• Do not go swimming/submerging your piercing in any unhygienic bodies of water for the first 2 weeks. (Lakes, Ocean, Pools etc)
• Over-cleaning your piercing can irritate your new piercing. 
• Try to avoid sleeping on your piercing.
• Do not change the piercing jewelry during the healing time. 

Doing any of the actions listed above can cause irritations to your new piercing and prolong the healing period.
