If it doesn't actually say antibacterial, it's not. All soap removes some bacteria, after all. Sea salt is just a coarser salt, so you could probably use Kosher salt; it's pretty coarse, too. I wouldn't go putting dish soap up there. Call the place where you got it done and ask if there are any alternative ways to keep clean. Don't let it get infected. Your mom will be super upset if you get sick. You will eventually have to tell her, btw. Hope that works out for you. :)
