Can I use hand sanitizer to disinfectant my ear before piercing?
Genuine question bcs idk... I bought the piercing kit but forgot the alcohol pad. I'm too lazy to go out to buy alcohol pad. I googled around and still no answer. I heard it will dried the skin and idk if that's a bad thing? It's for prepping the skin only, I won't use it for regular cleaning tho. So, yes or no?
I believe hand sanitizer would be okay, but it's not advisable to pierce at home as infection is possible. Wear gloves or at least make sure your hands are clean when doing this. If it's not your ears you're piercing I recommend not doing it at all. When I was in HS 3 girls pierced their belly buttons and all 3 got hellacious infections from it. 1 reply
