Chlorine is very drying to your skin, which can cause your piercing to flare up and becoming irritated.In addition, do not go swimming in lakes or rivers either. Lakes and rivers are treated with any disinfectant, so they have a lot of bacteria in and around them. If bacteria comes into contact with your new piercing, it could become infected.
