Oooh yes, sorry, that's what I meant. Forgot it came in a cream too
Salt water can be hell though. :|
I think cream like.. clogs the piercing and doesn't let it breathe?
Could be wrong though.

If you want to wash it, then cream is no good as you sorta put that on, and then leave it there. You don't wash it off afterwards. So it clogs the holes, and doesn't allow the piercing to drain. And thus it traps nasty germs there too.
You should be fine with just salt water (1tsp salt to 1pint water, ideally put it in a shot glass or similar and leave it on for 5 mins or so), but savlon spray is more handy if you're going out somewhere and need something to take with you. You can get salt water spray type things, but often they contain other stuff and probably aren't the right strength

Savlon spray in a blue bottle with a pink lid can be used, but salt water is better. Savlon cream (and any other creams) should never be used.
Agreed. Creams just get stuck in the piercing and gather kack. I used savlon spray on my lip when I had it done. It worked wonders - I never suffered from any problems

Right il leave the cream well alone and see what i can nick off the NHS tomorrow 
i need alcohol wipes 
ooooooh my lord that looks painful.
I've never heard of anybody getting their nape pierced before.
I'm so sorry, I know you love it, it's just that - eee it's making me cringe!
There's a girl in one of my electives classes in uni that has that same sort of piercing in her wrist. Makes me wince every time I see it.
It's just that places being pierced that I'm not used to seeing pierced seem sort of eek.
Sorry that's totally OT.

Clean it with tea tree oil. It will disinfect it as well and won't clog it up. It works wonders

Yeh most piercing places recommend it, they even sell it in special spray bottles. Smells nice too

saline solution. keep your hair up as well making sure that it's not brushing against the piercing because the oil in your hair could lead to an infection.
