Can you use baby shampoo on a navel piercing?

well can you?Can you use baby shampoo on a navel piercing?
I wouldn't recommend it--shampoos tend to contain fragrances and cleaners meant for hair that can be extremely irritating to your piercing. I would suggest picking up Dial's antibacterial fragrance free gel soap. I've used it on every single one of my piercings. it works great, won't irritate your skin or piercing, and washes off well when you're finished cleaning. Feel free to shoot me an email if you have any other questions, and good luck!Can you use baby shampoo on a navel piercing?
your best bet is a saline solution or spray. (like contact lens solution or h2ocean-sold at tattoo shops). bacteria can not thrive in a high sodium environment and the ph level is similiar to your own body fluids (non irrititating and hypoallergenic). as far as washing in the shower-as the other person said you want to avoid anything with fragrance and dyes.
No, it's not recommended.


It might cause some irritation.


To clean a navel piercing, use unscented, anti-bacterial liquid soap.
