So, although I'm an RN and all...dermatology isn't exactly my area of expertise. My question: Can I clean a navel piercing with the "ExSept" solution? [h=1]ExSept Plus Skin & Wound Cleanser by Angelini Pharma Inc.[/h]ExSept Plus - Skin and Wound Cleanser for epidermal and dermal wounds. A safe non-sensitizing, non-allergenic wound cleanser that is non-cytotoxic to the wound site. ExSept Plus Wound Cleanser is ideal for the cleansing and debridement of onychocryptosis and other podiatry needs. ExSept Plus Wound Cleanser is an FDA-cleared cleanser that is non-irritating, non-sensitizing and safe for use on skin and wounds.

I've had my navel pierced twice before when I was a teen and young adult. Now that I'm a nurse, I can better care for it. Thoughts?

The best person to ask this question is either the (hopefully fully trained/licensed as required) person doing the piercing or your healthcare provider. This sounds a bit like a medical advice (wound care) question, which is not permitted per the terms of service.

Yes, definitely something you need to run past a qualified provider. Per TOS, we cannot provide the advice you require.
