Is it okay to clean a lip piercing with germ X?

You should use nothing stronger than soap and water to clean your piercings. Lot's of sites will tell you to use this and that and so many times a day. Bottom line wash it in the morning and leave it alone and it will heal just fine. Healing agents are not to be used on deep wounds or puncture wounds ( a piercing is a puncture wound). Using these agents will cause the formation of a hypertrophic reaction (looks like a bump beside the piercing). Once they are formed they are difficult to get rid of and cause unsightly bruising around the piercing.
