I've had my scaffolding piercing for about a week now and when cleaning i've just dabbed the hydrogen peroxide and salt water around my ear. However i read that i should be rotating it when cleaning it. Should i rotate it after only a week?
you dont need to rotate a scaffolding piercing because its in such a place that it will rotate on its own throughout the day/night
Do what the piercer told you to do. If they didn't say and you are concerned, ring them and ask. Personally I would say don't; the fluid that the piercing naturally leaks while healing can cake on the bar and dry into tiny but alarmingly sharp lumps. If you push these into the piercing accidentally while turning it it will really really hurt! They can also damage the newly forming tissue, delaying healing and possibly creating excess scar tissue. The bar will move naturally with the movements of your body anyway within the constraints of (sorry if you're squeamish but I can't put it any more delicately) any crusting around the bar. Just keep it clean and keep hair and face products away from it and it should be great.
don't rotate it and stop using hydrogen peroxide only use warm water mixed with sea salt or anti-bacterial soap(dial),saline solution(contact cleaner),h20ocean piercing spray found at hottopic. you can turn the bar to clean it to get the other side clean but never rotate it. it'll make the piercing healing process alot slower and it can cause problems.
