Question i heard that you should ONLY use sea slat and not iodized table salt. is it bad or
just better, because i dont wanna go buy sea salt haha. also, is it bad to put
rubbing alcohol on it?
Answer No type of salt really does well, nor will alcohol help, plus all of these can hurt more than they help. Alcohol is painful and damaging to the new skin, salt water can contaminate the piercing and irritate it as well.
