How do you prevent staph in navel piercings?

Following a common sense aftercare routine, rinsing the piercings daily under running water while shuffling the jewellery to rinse away the discharge created by the piercings and keeping other Skin Care products away from the piercing during the healing period. 4 ~ 6 weeks to afford you what is called a "light heal". This doesn't mean the piercings are fully healed that process takes for an average person a full year to achieve a "seasoned fully healed piercing", regardless of where or what was pierced. No one heals in a matter of days or weeks regardless of the internet misinformation or the high tech healing solutions some bogus piercers try to sell you (snake oil, just another cash grab from your wallet or purse). Simply put keep the piercing clean, don't handle it with dirty fingers and don't put garbage jewellery in the piercing, oral contact and other body fluids getting into the piercing can lead to a staph infection. Keeping it clean is the key.
