Sea salt should always be your best friend when when you have dermals. For the first couple of weeks, you should clean your dermals with seasalt and warm water 2-3 times a day. You can get a little glass or shot glass and add sea salt with water and hold it on your dermal for about 10-15 mintues. Or you can dip a paper towel in sea salt and hot water and hold it on your dermal.
In addition, frequent cleaning with a topical disinfectant (Isopropol Alchohol or better yet, Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2) is recommended. Wet (don't complete soak) a cotton ball in one of these solutions, then gently dab on the site of the piercing for a minute. You should do this at least several times a week until the site is fully healed. If the site it not fully healed and you get it significantly dirty, do a very thorough cleaning of the area with ordinary soap (no perfumes or moisturizers) and soft cloth, then bath the area with H2O2 and wipe clean with sterile cotton pads. The object here is to avoid infection.
After the piercing has healed, normal cleaning is fine; however, you want to avoid any excessive pressure or abrasion that opens the skin around the piercing. Thus, I'd strongly recommend avoiding using rough washcloths, a lufa, or other tough material when wiping/washing the area.

How do you change a dermal anchor piercing?
A dermal anchor is not a piercing, but in fact a body modification. Now as for changing the top portion of the dermal anchor, the top must be unscrewed and the new top screwed into the anchor shaft. Dermal anchors always have interchangeable screw threads. There is a type of surface piercing without interchangeable attachments known as a Skin Diver. Removal of a dermal anchor must be done by a licensed medical practitioner in North America and most places in the E.U. removal by a body piercer is in fact practicing medicine without a license and is illegal.
What form of piercing has no exit holes?
Dermal anchors only have one entry point into the tissue. So for all intents this would be considered a piercing that doesn't have exit holes.
