Why you should not use tanning lotion when you get your navel pierced?

When I got mine done about a little over a week ago, he told me not to swim / use sun tan lotion. Why is it, and when will I be? Oh and mine seems to be healing pretty good, how long must I wait to change it? [I have used H2Ocean sea salt spray and I highly recommend that anyone who is not sure what you need!]

Ive heard that H2Ocean spray is great, sounds clock after clock after CARE INSTRUCTIONS really good, as sometimes belly rings can take a while to heal, some with complications as well. To accelerate it, I will propose to take some vitamins, vitamin C and zinc are important for the healing process, and also good for the rest of ur body too! I wouldnt change the jewelry before 6 weeks, no matter how good it feels, and make sure when u make the new jewelry is appropriate for that area, the same wheelbase and properly sterilized. If it is plastic balls and can not be boiled, or colored titanium, u can get away with spraying it with a steriliser and put it in boiled water for at least 10 minutes. Always make sure ur hands are clean, when u change it and at least 2 weeks after, to keep using the spray only to ensure no new infections occur, but in reality, I can not see any problems. Navel piercing usually takes around 6 to 8 weeks to heal, but if it goes as good as u say, 6 weeks shud be fine. The case of tanning lotion is true, u dont want to risk any infections or inflammation, when it sounds like it is going well. Wait at least 8 weeks, and thats only if the site doesn't sting when u get like shampoo or something. You will know after the 8 weeks when the skin is ready. They tell u not to swim or bathe until healed to reduce the risk of infection, so just stick to the shower for now. * At way, just thought I would add that if it puts in time to get a little inflamed or infected over the next few weeks, dont stress too much. each new piercing has to get worse before it gets better really, u shud expect some crusties LOL just keep cleaning it as normal and dont try to play with it too much and u will be fine!
