You won&#8217;t feel severe pain throughout that time since the initial piercing pain will subside in a few days.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"tips-for-caring-for-a-mid-helix-piercing\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tips for caring for a mid helix piercing&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>During the months it takes your piercing to heal, you must care for it. That way, it&#8217;ll heal faster and not get infected. Here are some aftercare tips for mid helix piercings:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Clean your piercing twice daily (morning and evening) using saline solution.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Keep the piercing site dry, especially after cleaning. A damp piercing site encourages bacteria growth, meaning you can get an infection.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Keep your hands away from the piercing. Avoid touching, twisting, or playing with it.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Avoid sleeping on your pierced ear; rest on the other ear if you must sleep on your side.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sleep on a clean pillowcase.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Keep makeup, cream, and other chemical products away from the piercing.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Keep your hair away from the piercing so it doesn&#8217;t get stuck and snag your piercing.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Avoid swimming with a new mid helix piercing. Chlorine in pool water will irritate the piercing and may lead to an infection.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"how-to-clean-a-mid-helix-piercing\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to clean a mid helix piercing&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/allthingsjewelryy.com\/how-to-clean-helix-piercing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Cleaning<\/a> is the most crucial aftercare tip for mid helix piercings, so let&#8217;s take you through it step by step. You&#8217;ll need to get a sterile saline solution. Check the product label to confirm the saline solution is made for wound care.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 1:<\/strong> Wash your hands thoroughly with an antiseptic soap; you don&#8217;t want to bring germs from your hand into the piercing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 2:<\/strong> Soak a non-woven gauze (a cotton swab works, too) in the saline solution, then place it on your mid helix piercing for a few minutes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 3:<\/strong> Clean the piercing thoroughly, paying special attention to the intricate areas between the fold of the ear rim. You should be able to get most crusts off your piercing as you clean. If a crust doesn&#8217;t come off, don&#8217;t force it. Usually, it&#8217;ll fall off itself later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 4:<\/strong> Dry the piercing with a disposable paper towel.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Maria Tash Piercing Aftercare\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/eh1XT80ELow?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"when-can-you-change-a-mid-helix-piercing\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">When can you change a mid helix piercing?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can change a mid helix piercing after it has healed completely, that is, after about nine months.
