How long it takes a smiley piercing, or any piercing to heal up will depend greatly on the care given. Making sure to keep the piercing clean can help it to heal as quickly as possible.
It would help if you said which piercing you ment. But any way I would say bridge and steptum piercings.
You don't want to put Epsom Salt OR table salt on ANY piercing. They contain sugar and will cause infection. The ONLY thing to put on a fresh piercing is SEA SALT. Using 1/4tsp of sea salt with 8oz. of warm water, and soak the piercing for about 10 minutes twice a day. It is the best thing to help heal your piercing. When you are in the shower, use Dial soap to clean it also. But sea salt soaks are amazing for helping heal a piercing.
Never heard of that but I wouldn't do it. The paste might be too thick and it can dry out your piercing. Just stick to natural sea salt and warm water soaks. You can take aspirin for swelling but it wont speed up healing Aspirin on a piercing will not "help" it heal, it's acid. Why would you put acid on any injury? Use common sense, move the jewellery under running water while showering and after your shampoo and conditioner, keep make up away from it and it will heal.
What you actually want to be using is liquid antibacterial soap and water and wash the piercing twice a day for the first day then every day there after for a week (7) days. Flushing the piercing with warm running water daily after cleaning to ensure you get all the soap out of the piercing. Stop using whatever you were using for cleaning, just soap and water. This should turn an infected navel piercing around in 24 to 48 hours.Things you don't use on your piercing: Alcohol, Hydrogen Peroxide, Sea salt, Salt, Betadine, Polysporin, Neosporin, Bactine, Pierced Ears Solution, Contact Lens solution, Aspirin, Epsom Salts, Dragon Mist.You need to flush the irritant out of the piercing and it won't heal if you keep putting the above items on the piercing. Liquid antibacterial soap, diluted with a little water as you lather it up will work the best to clean and disinfect the piercing.
It is not recommended to use hydrogen peroxide on a hip piercing as it can be too harsh and may delay the healing process. It is best to use a saline solution or gentle soap and water to clean the piercing. If you experience any issues with healing, consult a professional piercer or healthcare provider.
You should make sure that it heals up clean, so clean it every night and then just let it heal. If it has not healed in a year or so call a doctor and see what he thinks.
First off, if its infected, be sure to go to the doctor. They'll probably prescribe an antibiotic, which will prevent complications from the infection and will help clear the infection up a lot quicker. it really depends on the severity of the infection and how well you care for the piercing. The infection should clear up within 4 weeks but the piercing will take longer to heal because of the trauma caused by the infection.
If they piercing had not fully healed before you took the jewellery out it could become infected. If the inital piercing had healed, the soreness and redness should go do on its own. You can help it by using ice, and keeping the area clean.
Placement is a discussion you should have with your piercer when you go into have the piercing done, he/she will help you find the best location for your piercing that will suit your look.
There is no such piercing as a "cartridge piercing." There is, however, a cartilage piercing and they can be taken out. After you get your cartilage pierced, you need to wait 6 to 8 weeks for it to heal completely. If you decide to take it out, it will close up automatically in just a few weeks.
