was wondering if anyone else has heard about putting aspirin on piercings? i have a friend that has crushed aspirin up then dissolved it in water and then used a q tip to put it on her piercing. she said it was great. does anyone know if this is safe with a nipple piercing?

Aspirin is an analgesic (pain reliever) so it will be absorbed through the skin and relieve the pain but to my knowledge it has no antibiotic activity.

I wouldn't suggest doing it. Again talk to your piercer, they know whats best!!!

when i had mine done...used lots and lots of saline solution, salt water...you have to make sure to keep it clean, neosporin helps them heal faster, and no lace bras, just cotton ones to avoid irritation..also another helpful hint...dont wash your bras with fabric softner...perfumes in them irritate..hope this helps

i'd say anitbacterial soap, then maybe a little alcohol No way, not alcohol!!!! I used to work at a tattoo/piercing shop. Alcohol and peroxide are a HUGE no no. Please just go see your piercer. There is no need in posting topics on this infected piercing. The only person that knows best is the professional!!!

Alcohol dries it out and that ooze needs to come out to heal. Antibacterial soap works best, as long as its mild. I am by no means an expert, just been in the tattoo piercing stuff for a long time.

anti-bacterial soap is what they recommend for peircing to clean it. I don't think there is anything wrong with aspirin. Like another poser said...it's a pain reliever

Ive always been told to use sea salt and antibacterial soap. Asprin can burn the skin on some people. Soak them in sea salt for a little while ofter you shower....alcohol is bad for it.
