Help !!!

I don’t know but it doesn’t sound good

I would temporarly remove ring,then drain as much puss as possible by lightly spreading not squeezing,then apply Hydrogen Peroxide(will cause some burning and a lot of bubbling) repeat several times till burning subsides,then apply a seasalt solution.Do this as many times a day as possible.Finally clean ring with rubbing alcohol or Hydrgen Peroxide then rinse with warm water and replace back in your belly button do this each time you remove and replace the ring.Remember to wash your hands and be careful not to contaminate your main supply of Peroxide and or alcohol by allowing it to come in contact with used peroxide or alcohol.If it does not get better in 3 or 4 days maximum go to a Doctor.

I got mine done bout a month ago and it is crusty around the top and the bottom and I have a little pus comming out.. does this mean it is infected?

I got mine on 8/7 and today is 8/12 so it’s been 5 days. I’ve noticed it’s red and sore. Which I would expect but should I be alarmed that it’s infected. a lot people so no give it another week. I’ve been doing a lot of cruches and exercising period and some say this may have caused the iritation.

Just because it has “pus” doesn’t mean it’s infected if the pus is white of a slight yellow colour then that is lymph which is perfectly normal in a healing piercing, but if the pus is green ,brown and smells and the piercing if painful,throbbing and hot to touchten this is an infection and you need to go see your dr and get antibiotics. If it is infected thn DO NOT take the jewellery out as this will trap the infection inside and can be dangerous.

I just got mine done on friday; its warm & the top is red. & its really irrated.& it does hurt. what should I do ?

mine is purple on top, is it possible for the hole to shrink? it seems smaller and further out than it was when I first got it pierced…

well your not supposed to put neosporin on it… used sea salt and is it having pus coming out when i first had mine done it got infected ijust kept useing the sea salt and i was also allergic to the ring so i had to buy the sterling silver one

I just got mine done on friday its iratated. warm & burning what should I do?

when I first got mine done it was red but the guy that did mine said it will do that for about 6 mounths to a year.
