answer:I wonder if you could use peroxide or betadine (though that would stain) instead of alcohol when you get the piercing. Maybe have it done at a doctor’s office? Afterward, you actually aren’t supposed to use alcohol to clean the piercings. According to this site Use one or both of the following solutions for healing piercings: • Packaged sterile saline solution with no additives (read the label), or a non-iodized sea salt mixture: Dissolve ¼ teaspoon of non-iodized (iodine-free) sea salt into one cup (8 oz.) of warm distilled or bottled water. A stronger mixture is not better; a saline solution that is too strong can irritate the piercing. • A mild, fragrance-free liquid soap—preferably anti-microbial or germicidal.
