I've opened the bar of soap and its covered but I still think there's air getting at it. And also is there any things I should avoid doing/eating?.

Thanks for any help.

Air would not contaminate the bar of soap, it would be the germs on your fingers... so make sure you wash your hands with a different bar of soap and leave the antibacterial soap for your piercing only. Make sure it dries completely between use- bacteria love moisture.

Check out the piercing guidelines here.

You can never go with Sea salt and warm water. Antibacterial soap sometimes has alcohol and other harsh chemicals that can cause irretation. Use the saline solution for both inside and out and it should heal nicely.
