Im new to this board but ive been with BME for many years.
my piercings are nothing major and are pretty much "normal" if you will.
my newest ones are my 14 gauge conchs done by Mr. Scary at Pikes Peak Tat and piercing. Ive only had em for two weeks so more or less i guess you could say im posting how they are healing.
My cleaning is pretty much straight forward. Antibacterial soap when in the shower (once or twice a day) and over the course of the day a benzalkonium chloride based cleaner. Also im taking 3000mg vitamin c and 150mg zinc with 800mg vitamin E...this is a normal regimen for me anyways Smiling
The cleaning procedure is the same ive used on every piercing ive had to date except my tongue (obviously) and thus far its been good to me Smiling

well onto the pics...ill go left ear from the front first then right. Then left ear rear and right ear rear Smiling lemme know how they look.

well thus far the same procedure has worked for everything ive had, kinda hard to break habit if you will.
Other than the BCK based cleaner what else would be suggested? I know sea salt soaks and thats fine when Im home but I do clean these at least once while im in the office...so a salt soak wouldnt be practical. Otherwise im open to suggestions that may indeed help me heal faster and "cleaner" Smiling
Sorry bout the pics...im trying to get used to this forum still, my normal forums would accept those with ease. Ill try and edit em to just links instead of actual pics.
On a side note why would the BKC be evil for my piercings? Ive not had any issues in the past, Im all for learning something new Sticking out tongue

*edit*
im not seeing a way to edit em to links, mods if you could remove the img tags and replace em with url tags please.

Cloud - sometimes pics load big. Hit refresh and it will fix itself.

BZK actually breeds cartilage eating bacteria.
Sea salt soaks are sufficient, especially with all the vitamins you are taking. Good job!

Nice ear piercings Smiling

Never miss someone from your past - there is a reason they did not make it to your future.

ok that answers my question ha ha.
How the hell would i go about soaking this thing though?
its not exactly in an area that tilting a cup of water is gonna be an easy option Sticking out tongue
if i had to I could get away with simple antibacterial soap...it would be easy in the office...but again not very practical.
Any suggestions on something in a bottle that I keep in the office with me?

You could get some h2ocean sea salt piercing aftercare spray for your office. It's pretty quick to do just spray and it absorbs into your piercing and a quick swabbing with a wet q-tip to get off any crusties if there's any that needs taken off and voila you're done. Smiling
