Can I Swim in a Pool with a Nose Piercing I Got 7 Days Ago and Cover It with a Waterproof Bandage?
After getting a nose piercing, you may wonder if it's okay to swim in a pool. While swimming with a fresh piercing is generally not recommended, you may be able to do so safely under certain circumstances.
If your piercing is 7 days old, it's still considered new. It's important to keep the piercing clean and dry to avoid infection. Swimming in a pool can introduce bacteria into the piercing, which could lead to complications.
If you decide to swim, you can cover the piercing with a waterproof bandage to protect it from the water. However, it's important to remember that waterproof bandages are not 100% waterproof. Water can still seep into the piercing, even if it's covered.
Therefore, it's best to avoid swimming in a pool with a new nose piercing if possible. If you do decide to swim, be sure to cover the piercing with a waterproof bandage and keep it dry as much as possible.
