Who can help I need belly button infection advice?

Hey I need help myself, about a week ago I got my belly done at a joint it was 30 bux and I was like sweet thats not bad a week later its really starting to sweel and become red with puss and dryed skin around the wounds (not attractive) its also very tender to touch and I have basicly no lean way to move the bar to clean I’ve tried different brands of piercing care spays, salt water and alcohol wipes but nothing seems to work. Now im starting to think could the place I got it done at have used cheap rip of jewllery, as im alergic to fake. Would it be possible to change it to a brand new bar that I know is real silver??? Or should I leave it? I no not to take it out though as I’ve been told it can trap the infection and cause a alser but if I leave it in it allows it to drain. Yet it hurts so much its even irratating my sleep please help me

Answer #1

thanks for the help I went to the doctors and was put onto antibiotics as wells as betadin to clean the infection and also had to replace the bar it was expensive but well worth it to get rid of the awful pain it had caused me

Answer #2

this happened to me too. mines fine now… you need to go to the doctors and get antibiotics or it will just get worse and then you will have to get it removed (I had to have an ear one removed- most painful thing ever). keep it dry, so dry it with a VERY CLEAN cotton bud after you get out of the shower. and also make sure to wash it in the shower, wash all the puss and crap out lol. and air it out as much as possible- like when you get home take your shirt off so its out in the open and airing.

mine got really infected because my school uniform was thick and I got it done in summer so it got all stuffy and stuff.

good luck though :)
