Dab the area with alcohol or hydrogen peroxide twice a day.

First clean your hands, then use boiled water with salt (about a teaspoon/5ml of salt to 50ml/2 fluid ozs water), cooled to bearable, to soak the piercing two or three times a day -- an eggcup is very useful for this. Avoid antiseptics: they can dry out or otherwise irritate the wound.
After a few days the piercing will probably get a little sore and begin to exude light-coloured fluid, lymph, which will dry on the jewellery -- remove this gently with a new cotton bud soaked in sterile saline, and once more don't forget to wash your hands. The piercing should become slowly but steadily more comfortable, though the discharge can go on for a couple of weeks.
WARNING .. If the piercing does become especially sore, swollen or bleeding and the problem persists or worsens, contact the piercer or your doctor
