Clean and disinfect daily and turn ring from one end to the other. Apply disinfectant on both ends of the ring. During the first few weeks apply a gauze over the ring before retiring at night. Avoid sunbathing, sauna etc.. During the healing process a scab will form and the puncture site may ooze slightly (lymph). This is a sign that healing is taking place. The oozing may get onto the ring and when dry is like a scab. This should be removed from the ring using warm water and slowly turning the ring. This is done best under the shower.
