Belly piercing

in the shower like you wash the rest of your body

thanks! I’m gald someone has faith in education!

peroxide does NOT harm skin.

clean it with antibacterial soap and saline solution. rub the soap on it and move the ring in and out several times( it may burn a little that means its cleaning it) and rinse the soap off with saline solution ( product used for contacts) I have my belly button pierced for 6 years now and that is what I used it healed nicely. DO NOT USE PEROXIDE OR RUBBING ALCOHOL!!! It damages the tissue inside of the belly button ring. I hope this helps you and you use my advice.

KIDS: read the directions on the back of the friggin bottle of peroxide! “For use on surface wounds only. Do not use on puncture wounds or bites.” Does a hole through your flesh sound more like a surface wound, or a puncture wound?! Peroxide dries out the piercing and doesn’t allow it to heal. Leave peroxide out.

Not going to argue anymore - OP believe who you want. I’m telling you in the 2 years I was at the shop - they NEVER told anyone to use Peroxide on a piercing. You can use it - you’ll see, your piercing will take twice as long to heal and probley become infected or your body will reject the piercing. Anyways - good luck.

how would I clean it with antibacterial soap !!! ???

how would I use atni bacterial hand soap to clean itt ??

YES it does.

You should NOT put peroxide onto a piercing. It can cause the piercing to reject and it can cause the piercing to not heal properly. We NEVER tell people to use peroxide at our shop.

Actually - I worked in a tattoo/piercing parlor for 2 years - and they NEVER tell anyone to put peroxide on a piercing. Your right it doesn’t harm anyone skin - under normal circumstances, but a piercing is different. Putting peroxide on a piercing will dry the piercing out and harm the healing process.

if it is a concentraited solution she will be buying it from a store where it be a consumer product and NOT full strength hydrgen peroxide

well clearly you haven’t done your research or been educated in the medical field

every one who has ever had their navel pierced will tell you it has gotten infected at least once what I did was put a little peroxide in a cup and held it upside down on my piercing it will kill the infection and dry the puss

That sounds normal - the crusting and redness. To make sure it’s clean and just in case it’s an infection though:

-Clean it twice a day with anti-bacterial soap (non-scented) - sea salt does not clean the piercing it just helps with the healing process. -Still use your sea salt and warm water twice a day.

If it doesn’t improve in 2-3 days - see a doctor for anti-biotics.

peroxide does NOT harm skin. the soap that you want to use is dial anti bacterial hand soap the liquid form not the bar soap

You can get the squirty antibacterial soap. Buy that and squeeze some onto a cotton BUD (not a cotton wool pad) and wipe around your belly button.

You can make a solution of soap and water:

You can either put it in a spray bottle - and spray the piercing very well - make sure the soap get’s in the piercing.

or

You can put it in a cup, then hold the cup against your stomach so that they soapy water is soaking your piercing. Leave it there for 1 minute - then remove and clean it with regular water to get the soap out.

DO NOT use peroxide on a piercing. I work in a pharmacy and that is so not a good thing to do. Best thing is to use salt water to clean it out. I personally used something called Zambuk ointment on mine…it is an excellent herbal ointment that you get down here- the piercing shop actually recommended it and it healed very fast.
