Do you need to twist your new piercing?
I've heard conflicting advice about whether to twist my new earring. Some say that twisting it can cause irritation, while others suggest that it's necessary to prevent my skin from growing over the earring. What is the best practice for caring for a new piercing?

Your skin cannot grow “on” or into your jewelry, that’s literally impossible. Unless your jewelry is a porous material, but your skin isn’t growing into metal.
Your skin could only grow over your jewelry, embedding the jewelry inside the skin, if your jewelry was extremely tight. You’d know this was a risk, because your jewelry would be sunken into a swollen, angry piercing.
Don’t move your jewelry, it provides no benefit and only drags sharp crust and possible germs into your wound.
