The most important thing to remember when cleaning any piercing is to be gentle with yourself, and not touch the area with dirty fingers. According to the Association of Professional Piercers, it may not be necessary for you to use soap to cleanse this area; in some cases running warm water on it in the shower works just fine.
Angel's favourite product for piercing aftercare is a topical spray called Briotech ($9), which uses hypochlorous acid to reduce inflammation and kill germs. "It is the first piercing-care product that has numerous scientific studies proving its safety and effectiveness for wound healing," she said. "It kills all known pathogens, but without drying the skin or harming tissue. It can even be used in the eyes, nose, and mouth. All you do is spray it on, so it is very easy to use as well."
