It depends where you want to prevent an infection. If it is your lips, use chapstick(especially in the winter) and special antibiotics that prevent infection around your lips. If it is your ears, use Hydrogen Peroxide (Walgreens) and Rubbing Alcohol to prevent any bacteria from causing an infection. You must be especially careful if you have newly pierced ears. An ear infection may cause the skin to grow over the earring, making it attached to the ear. An ear infection can also cause your hole for your earrings to close up.
