keeping a piercing from drying

[pombiki]

i pierced my helix about 3 days ago and now its starting to dry and build up crust on the jewlery i used a 12g hollow needle to do it. i used the same size on my lobe in feb and had no problems with it im currently at 6 gage now (any suggestion pls)

um, crusties are completely normal - what are you freaking out about?? if they seem uber dry, maybe your sea salt mixture has too much salt in it - in which case you need to measure it carefully. 1/4 teaspoon of salt to one cup of water.

That sounds pretty normal. *As long as it is not swollen, red, hot too the touch (which would mean infection). *Then you should be just fine. *Just do sea salt salt at least twice a day for about 10 minutes.
