I see, thank you for that, I didn't really know much about it. Shall start using warm saltwater to rinse instead. I'll keep chlorhex to once per night before I go to bed, would it be better or I stop rinsing chlorhex completely? For your information, I still have a little bump on my jawline which had not subside. Thank you for your advise.
