Answer 1

Make sure your cleaning it, Salt+water= good cleaning solution for piercings

Answer 2

Dont worry, you have only had it a short while! It's still healing dont worry about it! Just make sure you keep cleaning it with sea salt and warm water OR if they gave you an bottle of the antibacterial stuff use that! Sea salt is much better, but either way they will both help to clean you're bellybutton so it doesn't get infected!

Dont worry you're piercing is fine hun:)

Answer 3

Leave it be, but make sure you're taking care of it and doing sea salt soaks a couple times a day.

Answer 4

don't worry its normal, it just sounds a bit irritated, just use a sea salt soak instead, its much easier and less irritating to the piercing, just mix 1/4 sea salt with 1 cup of water, but some in a shot glass or something and hold it against your stomach, (over the piercing of course) you can use a wet qtip to gently get rid of the build up around the jewelry. you can get the sea salt at any grocery store and it doesn't cost much at all, make sure its not iodized though.

Answer 5

your body might be rejection the piercing cause sometimes it happens when people get pierced and they don't know if there body will reject the piercing which it might be that is what yours is doing... try getting a shower and soap up a rag and then squeeze the rag on your body and let the soap run down and then push the bar bell up and down and then let clean water hit it and push up and down and that should take care of it if it don't you might not be able to keep your navel piercing in..  use dove soap by the way! if your having redness you might get soreness and after pain like period cramps or worst it just depends....

i had mine almost 2yrs and i never had no problems with mine no redness, no soreness and no after pain... mine never hurt at all. i always had to check to see if it was still there cause i didn't feel anything and it didn't red or nothing.
