My Navel piercing?

[Anonymous]

I got my navel pierced June 25th last month, I've been putting warm salt water on my piercing (as many days as I can remember to do it witch is 5 out of 7 days) I've also put antibacterial soap on my piercing and washing. it off with warm salt water. Does my piercing look infected to you or does it look like this during the healing process?

I've had a lot of piercings including navel and I would advise you to leave it alone if it doesn't hurt much, it takes at least three months to fully heal so just leave it alone, don't manipulate it and make sure you use saline solution to clean it. Don't wear heavy sweaters that will keep grazing against the piercing and don't wear high waisted jeans or shorts. Don't expose it to a lot of sun as the piercing itself can heat and burn your skin, good luck

It's either still healing or it may be the metal. Mine was looking like that and I had had mine for over 10 years. I had to find plastic navel piercings online and now I don't have a problem at all.

Go to a doctor asap, to me it looks infected. And if it's not better safe than sorry.

Give it another week. You put an extra hole in you, those take time to heal. After that try a different metal, you may be allergic. Never understood why girls do that. All that pain and healing just for a decoration when most guys would rather see the plain belly button.

I think this is just the skin healing. If you're worried, you can talk to the guy that pierced you or go see a doctor.

The problem is that I had my sister do my piercing, but she did do it correctly and sanitary with gloves and a sterile needle etc.. she also has hers done but she hasn't told me if the piercing is suppose to look like that.

1. you're 14 2. you're sister did it? not even a professional? i foresee a future of bad decisions

[Asker]

Being 15* has nothing to do with the topic, and true lol.

[WarlandWriter]

Ah well, someone needs to go on the show '16 and pregnant', right? If you won't, who would? We thank you for your sacrifice and hope your bad decisions bring you lots of short-term fun ;)

I wish I could make bad decisions but I have a mother who cares about me and won't let me so 🤷🏼‍♀️

I suppose that's a good thing. As every person older than 30 once said: "You'll understand when you're older."

Just give it some more time. If it was infected, you would definitely notice...

U should go to the hospital it seems mildly infected

[jammieww2]

looks a little infected but just keep using the antibacterial cream. and salt baths

[SybilSilk]

To me it looks like you have a bit of hypertrophic scarring going on
