Apollo Pharmacy Sterilised Cotton Balls (30 count) are designed for general hygiene, personal care, and cosmetic purposes. They may be used to apply solutions or clean the intact skin around a minor injury; however, they are not specifically recommended for direct wound care or cleaning fresh piercing wounds. Cotton balls can shed small fibres that may stick to an open wound or interact with healing piercing sites, potentially causing irritation or affecting the healing process. For open-wound care and piercing aftercare, it is generally recommended to use products specifically designed for wound care, such as sterile gauze pads or sterile saline solutions, and follow the advice of a healthcare professional or qualified piercer if needed.

Using Apollo Pharmacy Sterilised Cotton Balls for yoni pichu is not advisable unless your Ayurvedic doctor has specifically recommended it. Yoni pichu is usually done with a properly prepared sterile cotton pad or tampon soaked in medicated oil, not with loose cotton balls, because cotton balls may shed fibres and are not designed for internal vaginal use. Even though Apollo Pharmacy cotton balls are sterile for general external medical use, they are not the same as vaginal medical devices. There can also be hygiene and infection risks if the material is not appropriate or not placed correctly. It is better to follow your doctor’s exact instructions and ask them to confirm the correct material and method before continuing this treatment.
