It really isnt necessary. Using the cream can 'suffocate' the piercing because its thick. It could also trap dirt and things like that. Unless its recommended from a doctor for an infection or something like that, stay away from it and stick with sea salt soaks

Can you use neosporin for your belly button ring?

You really don't have too. If its infected and your doctor tells you to use an antibacerial cream, then you should. But otherwise, it'll heal just fine without it. Also, if you do have to use it in the case of infection, use the cream, not the ointment. The ointment is super thick so it essentially suffocates the piercing and it collects dirt/dust. The cream rubs in so its suitable for a piercing :) **The best thing to do for your piercing is a good saline soak (AKA, salt water). If your piercing is giving you difficulty, then you should soak it for 5-10 minutes in a hot salt water solution. Even better than salt water though is emu oil. It's basically the miracle "ointment" for body piercings. Though neosporin does have a history of being used on body piercings, I advise against it. It can cause even more irritation in your piercing.
