 |
|
I use a 10% iodine solution called providone-idodine (brand name "Betadine") that I import from the USA.
But now I'm out.
For all you pierced freaks in Korea, what products in Korea do you use to clean your body piercings? |

I can't remember the name of what I used, but I walked into a pharmacy and showed them my piercing, played a little charades until the pharmacist understood I wanted to clean it, and he gave me a bottle of whatever it was.
Alternatively, they do piercings in the markets at Dongdaemun. I am sure they would stock cleaning lotions there. |

Did he tip you out? 
Thanks for the info.
About the Dongdaemun piercing people: I haven't been there myself, but my girlfriend shopped for some jewelry for me. She explained I use straight barbells. The guy convinced her that curved bars would work just fine for me. He was an idiot or a liar. She was just naive and trusted him since jewelry is his business. |

My original piercing was from 1997, you're close, but body modification is ancient and at the same time still developing into the future.

| If they've healed you might just use and antibacterial soap and water. Or just a perfume free one like ivory... |
