The other day i woke up to clean it and there was dry blood in the bottom piercing (by ear lobe) on both sides. I think it's because I got it two days before I got a bath with it and then I was sleeping weird. So anyway, my sister says I should just leave the dry blood because it helps it stay in place and it will irritate it if you pick it off but should I? It hurts even after I soak It to try take the dried blood off.
Let the dry blood come off on its own. Using a sterile saline wound wash spray twice a day to keep it clean will help soften it up and it will come off within time. You can take baths but you really need to make sure your head never gets submerged under the water while your piercing is healing. Washing your hair under the faucet is fine but rinsing it in the water you're sitting in is not.
