Cleaning them twice a day isn't excessive. Id' just avoid turning them because less touching = faster healing. The cleaning is okay, I just personally prefer sea salt, but that really does depend on individual bodies and preferences. And like I said, my ears were pierced with a gun, I turned them, etc. My ears are still there. They took a long time to heal and itched like crazy, but it turned out fine. It's just all my othe rpiercings (the ones I didn't turn) healed faster. ::shrug::
