Piercing (ear piercing)

2018-11-22 16:27:08
I'm trying to get a ear piercing but I'm on isotretinoin and I've heard that isotretinoin makes the healing process slower. Is this true and if yes how long should I wait until I can get a piercing?

Till 1 month after stopping isotretinoin. In case of piercing it wont make much difference. But if u r still skeptical then you may wait.
