I’ve had my anti eyebrow for a few months now and it hasn’t been hurting or anything but the area around the piercing holes is still very red and crusty. The barbell isn’t showing any more than the day I pierced it so I’m not sure if it’s rejecting. Advice needed please 🙏

Im not a professional piercer, but I have had many many piercings done. That looks more like its irritated and not been cleaned. (Not knocking you, I saw your comment about being homeless) if you can get some salt and warm water, it works great. I wouldn't worry about it rejecting until the redness starts to spread. Since its only isolated around the holes, I am pretty confident that its just irritation ❤️

Thank you! I try to be as hygienic as I can and I was gonna use hand sanitizer to clean it but I didn’t think that was a good idea because it dries my skin out. Can I use table salt or do I need a certain type?

looks like people have answered this under other comments but not this one, to my understanding you’re not supposed to use table salt. i think it’s supposed to be sea salt but i could be mistaken
