Primary healing usually takes about as long as is listed above; the body jewellery should not be removed during this time as the healing time should not be rushed.
Very often a piercing that seems to be healed will start to have problems if handled without care, exposed to oral contact or unwashed hands if it is not truly healed.
Full healing begins after primary healing is complete and usually takes about the same amount of time again as primary healing, during this period the skin will thicken and regains elasticity.
An additional "toughening up" period takes place after full healing is complete, this period takes about the same amount of time as the primary healing time. During this time the skin remodels itself developing an internal texture in the fistula tube that replaces the shiny scar-like internal surface.
- Returning to your piercer for an evaluation at any time, if necessary
- Practicing good hygiene
- Following the recommended aftercare guidelines which your piercer should provide
Behavior that may hinder healing
- Contact between the new piercing and another person's skin or bodily fluids
- Excessive and unnecessary touching of the piercing, especially with unwashed hands
- Failure to take proper aftercare measures
- Smoking and drinking alcohol (in the case of oral piercings, if not cleaned properly and rather close to the time of drinking or smoking)
- Exposure to irritating substances such as cosmetics, perfume, lotion, some topical ointments, etc
- Immersion in chemically-treated pool water, or natural water (i.e. lakes, rivers, streams, and oceans) which contains bacteria, protozoa, and parasites
- Cleaning with tea tree oil, as it keeps the wound open
- Lack of sleep or low health
