Occasionally, a piercing may not seem to be healing properly.  This can be caused by many different factors.  Sometimes the piercing just hasn't had a good chance to heal right due to excessive contact with hands, turning the jewelry while it's dry, etc.  Regardless of where you may have received your piercing, Warrior has found proven methods of solving these problem pierces.  It is usually recommended that a trained authorized Warrior Piercer determines which course of action to take.  Pleasecontact us if you have any questions.

Type 1.
 Create a HOT compress using the following recipe:

A few fresh CLEAN gauze pads or paper towels.
One (1) Tablespoon of pure sea salt  (this can be found in the spice section of any supermarket).
8 ounces of clean water.

Type 2.
 For large keloids and/or if Type 1 solution does not work, then this may prove helpful.  Make a paste from crushed aspirin (NOT Tylenol or other aspirin alternatives) and a little bit of warm water.  Spread this paste onto a freshly cleaned pierce and surrounding area.  Let this paste dry.  As it dries, it forms a protective layer and helps the body heal the situation.  Do this 2 or 3 times a day for the amount of time specified by your piercer.

Type 3.
 For oral piercings that are having difficulty healing, the use of Gly-Oxide is extremely helpful.  Gly-Oxide is a glycerine based peroxide product that assists the bodies natural healing.  Apply 2 to 3 drops directly onto the piercing 4 to 5 times a day every day until the pierce is healed.  It is also recommended to continue a regimen of rinsing with antiseptic mouthwash until the pierce is healed.
