Infections, side effects and healing issues are all points you need to discuss with your professional body piercer BEFORE you get the piercing done. You also need to discuss aftercare for the piercing, this should be followed up with written aftercare instructions for your piercing. No professional body piercer will force you to purchase aftercare products, this is a purchase that is up to you and they can only recommend specific products but they can force you to buy what they have.
Listen to what you are told and follow the aftercare to the letter and remember if you are having issues with bumps and lumps or discharge go back to the shop that did the piercing and talk to the piercer. They must help you resolve any healing issues you may be having. Don't solicit advice from anyone who is not a professional body piercer, just because one thing worked for someone else doesn't mean it will work for you. Healing issues need to be looked at first hand so the problem can be recognised and resolved, the internet is just a guessing game.
i wouldn't clean a tongue piercing with peroxide. when you first get your tongue pierced you're suppose to clean it with antiseptic mouth wash and you are suppose to drink liquids for a whole week when you first get it pierced.
You need to keep the ring clean. You need to use peroxide to wipe the skin. You should also twist the ring to keep it open.
Don't put peroxide in your mouth. It can kill you. Go back to the piercing parlor or your doctor's to have it checked out. To properly clean your piercing, brush your teeth twice a day, as well as the top and bottom of your tongue. To clean the tongue bar, dip it in alcohol, and if you're putting it back in your tongue right away, rinse it. I don't have my tongue pierced, though I want one, and I asked my boyfriend this question. He gave me his answer.
To change a tongue ring, start by washing your hands with soap and water. Gently unscrew the ball at the bottom of the current tongue ring using clean hands or latex gloves. Slide out the old tongue ring and carefully insert the new one, then screw the ball back on tightly.
The most important thing when removing a tongue ring is to be sure you do not swallow or choke on any pieces of the jewelry. You also need to be sure you have clean hands when you take it out or put it back in.
I don't have a white ring under my tongue.
I just got my belly pierced like 5 days ago and my piercer said i can use peroxide & clean it 2 times a day, I've been using peroxide ever since then & i haven't had any problems, its not even hurting that much anymore. I'm not sure if this will work for you but i hope it helps :)
There is no "lock on a tongue ring" and it's not a ring it's a barbell.
Yes, it can. Exactly why you would use peroxide at all is also questionable.
No! not under any circumstances may you use it on a tongue peircing.
If you have a tongue ring, it makes it hard to make out. the ring always gets in the way.
