DO NOT touch your new piercing with unwashed hands. Do not rotate or twist jewelry. IT WILL NOT FUSE TO YOUR BODY and will move when you clean it. LEAVE IT ALONE. DO NOT use alcohol, peroxide, dial soap, neosporin or tea tree oil  on your piercing! DO NOT go swimming with your new piercing or submerge it in any body of water for a minimum of 3 months, preferably for the full duration of your healing. 

Crusties, redness, bruising, and tenderness are all normal during the healing process. White paste around piercings that stay moist (oral) happens instead of crusties. Some bleeding can be normal. If you experience excessive dryness using saline, switch to DISTILLED WATER only to clean.
