Surface Piercing Aftercare Info .
Surface piercings will probably catch on clothing or reject due to strain placed on the area of the piercing. This type of damage happens early on, while the piercing is fresh and healing.
If the area of the piercing is relaxed through healing it may help the skin tissue to accept the jewelry ; this could be helped by utilizing jewelry made from a flexible and biologically inert material like PTFE. Otherwise, purpose-built ’surface piercing’ jewellery which is formed to reduce stress on the tissue holding the piercing is also recommended. Surface piercings need regular cleaning, care and special attention to the stress they suffer in everyday activities that impact on the area of the piercing.
