<human>:  what are the instructions for piercing your nose
<bot>: Nose piercing is a personal choice and not without associated risks. Piercing should only be done by an experienced and certified practitioner at a professional piercing studio. It’s important to follow the post-procedure care instructions provided by your piercer or practitioner. To care for your new piercing, avoid touching the pierced area for the first few days. Wash gently with lukewarm clean water and antibacterial soap. Pat dry with a soft, clean cloth. Apply a drop of antibiotic ointment and secure a clear, sterile rubber or plastic impaling post in the piercing at all times while healing. Avoid using antiseptic lotions and creams, piercing jewelry, hard jewelry, jewels and studs, sea salt and hot or abrasive poultices. Talk with your doctor if you have any concerns or questions.
