A.Pel Posted October 11, 2006 Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 While drunk the other night I let a friend sabotage me with a needle and earring. I have become rather attached to it, but having never had anything done before I don't know how to stop the pus coming etc.So far I have slathered myself in TCP, but is it salty water you're supposed to use?

pogofish Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 If you have pus coming out, there is infection in there & you need to seek medical advice ASAP!Especially because it is an unprofessional job & the hygene control dubious.

Rachie Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 Age old stooopid thing to do. o_OIf it is getting pus-like then do not remove the piercing as it allows the pus to drain. Try cleaning it with savlon (diluted) or boiled up salted water (cool it first though, ). TCP is quite a harsh antiseptic, salt water is kinder. If you can, buy ready sterilised saline packets to clean it with, you can prolly get them from the chemist.Pus doesn't necessarily mean it's infected, it can just mean it's inflammed - it's just dead cells. Unless however it's a nasty colour or has an offensive smell. Keep cleaning it a couple of times a day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MDP Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 yup... salty water (very slightly salty, about 1/4 teaspoon of salt per mug of water) does the trick... i remember reading that rock salt/seasalt was best as it doesnt have a load of shitty chemicals in it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KarmaTsunami Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 the fact you were drunk when you got pierced probably didn't help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
