You can but you shouldn't use soap or sea salt. You can just use warm water and a cotton ball or q-tip to clean up any dried blood but don't try to get it really clean. That'll just irritate it and probably make it bleed some more.

How long do you have to clean your nose after it has been pierced?

The piercing usually takes 4-6 weeks to heal depending on your body. Always clean it multiple times a day after first getting it pierces, especially since the piercing is on your face. I'd clean it if not every day then maybe a couple times a week. Dirt and oil tend to gather and it can cause your piercing to either get infected or to get gunk in it.


Is it normal for an industrial piercing to bleed almost a week after its been done?

Bleeding is normal for any piercing. A piercing is a wound, and wounds bleed. The only way it would keep bleeding rather than heal is if you pick at it or play with it. Dont play with it! Also, do not overclean it. Dont clean it more than once per day, and clean it with antibacterial soap. If you are using salt soaks or salt water, stop!! This is irritating to your piercing and can severely dry it out.

Will your period mess with your vertical hood piercing?

If you shower daily and clean the piercing then you should be just fine. Keeping the piercing clean is important so if need be shower twice a day if you want to be on the safe side. Exotics heal very quickly (light heal in about 7 days) due to the increased circulation in mucous tissue, this allows the piercing to afford a light heal quite quickly. Showering will not harm the piercing and will actually promote the healing.
