It sounds a lot like Bactine, and the company even tells you not to use it on piercings, so I'd say no. Piercings heal a lot differently than cuts and stuff like that.
Anyway, for me, piercing aftercare has always been more about promoting faster healing than "cleaning" or fighting infection. Infections are pretty rare in piercings (most people mistake irritation for infection) and killing bad bacteria can kill good bacteria as well. So the best thing to do are sea salt soaks in my opinion.
I'm Lindsay.
I have 1/2" lobes and 11 piercings: left helix x2, both conches, both nostrils, septum, navel, and VCH.
My lobes are small but I know a lot about stretching and how to do it safely, so message me if you have any questions!
