What is the recommended waiting period after getting a lip piercing before consuming dairy products?

After getting a lip piercing, it’s important to follow proper aftercare instructions to avoid infections and promote healing. One question that often arises is whether there’s a specific waiting period before you can safely consume dairy products. While there’s no universal consensus on this issue, some experts suggest waiting at least 24 hours after the piercing to avoid potential irritations or reactions that could be triggered by the lactose or other components in dairy. However, this recommendation may vary depending on your individual circumstances, such as the type of jewelry used, your sensitivity to dairy, and any other health conditions you may have. Therefore, it’s best to consult with your piercer and/or a healthcare professional to determine the most suitable waiting period and diet for your lip piercing healing process.
