Any ways to help get over belly-ring infection?

Question

I don't know if I am infected for sure but its been 3 months and my belly ring is getting tight and bleeding. Any ways I can help the healing go any faster? I already use salt water twice a day

Answer 1

If its tight and bleeding after 3 months, your body is rejecting the piercing.

Stick to one Epsom Salt bath per day and soak in it for 20 minutes. After the piercing is dry, apply a small amount of Neosporin or polysporin to the ring and slip it through the hole.

You do need to see your doctor about this.

Answer 2

take it out

it could get a lot worse

Answer 3

Try gettin a different bellybutton ring. Mine got infected because I guess i bought a fake ring and I have sensitive skin. So I just stuck the one they pierced it with back in and cleaned it a lot, and I havent had any  problems since then. If its really bad and bleeding still and pussing, i suggest to just take it out. You dont want a huge scar.

Answer 4

Start putting rubbing alcohol on the ring part that is stuck through the skin. YOu can either put some alcohol on each side of the skin where the ring is through, or you can take it out... apply alcohol and stick it back in. This will ensure the ring is clean and not infecting your skin. Secondly... about twice a day apply medicated cream to the same place so that the skin can absorb it. This will heal the area.  

Answer 5

take it out, clean it!
