Infected belly button piercing

[scumbelina]

well, i can't say i didn't persevere . . . but today, after 14 months of trying/ cleaning etc, i finally had to give in and take my piercing out - am mortified!! I kept returning to my piercer (who's fab!) as once my piercing got infected (at about 6 months) i was determined to ensure i did everything correctly. Even today, when she finally gave in and took it out, she had no idea why it rejected and wouldn't calm down, but, unfortunately, there are some people who just react this way however, i am pleased to say, that once everything is healed completely/properly, we are going to have another go . . .fingers crossed!

hey i got my belly done years ago and mine got a bit infected, it went hard and hurt when i tried to move it and really red. my mum told me to put savlon on it every night, so i did and it was fine after that!! savlon is magic lol
however recently i "repierced" mine cos i took it out for ages and the hole shrunk, and all the poking and prodding has made it all red and sore again so don't take it permanently out unless youre dead sure you don't want it in anymore!!

heyy. umm i was wondering if anyone could help me before i go to the doctors or something..
i got my belly button done about 3 1/2 weeks ago and it's been around a week that i have been getting pus and then it had been extremley crusted in the morning.
I clean it twice daily, once in the morning and at night but this does not seem to get rid of this yellow, whiteish pus i have been getting.
It also hurts a little bit, but i think that is also due to the fact that in my sleep i think i play with it and sometimes i wake up and realise i'm causing pain towards it.
but i'm not sure what to do.. if i keep cleaning it will the infection disepear?
Please give some advice.
Thanks x

Hi! I got my belly button pierced about 7 months ago and mine is infected. I think that I let it go to long before I tried to fix the infection because it is really bad, I thought that it was just healing but I think it was infected for awhile. But I have been using peroxide and the sea salt thing and a warm cloth and I went to the doctor and got antibiodics, but none of that helped. It got a little bit better after the antibiodics, but not 100 percent. My doctor said to take it out but it is still pussing and I dont want the infection to get trapped, I also dont want to take it out. So I recently started putting anti-biotic cream on it, so I hope that that helps. But if anyone has any other ideas for me please let me know, thanks.

I pierced my own belly button last night
now im scared its going to get infected i've put salt water on it twice today but the bottom bit has gone white around the bar then a red colour.. is it infected already or is this just cause i attacked myself with a pin and a body bar?

Hey i have a question....

is there anything else i can used except salt water to help it heal properly?
