Ear piercing

2018-02-06 02:06:02
I got my ear pierced in the cartilage area recently. I don't know the exact aftercare procedure for this. The Internet says I should use a sea salt saline solution, whereas other people say I should use oil or other creams. I would be really grateful if anyone could help me out with this. I want my ear to be safe.
