I got my belly pierced 5 weeks ago and..?

Question

im at school and just realised that my barbell fell out.. i get home in 5 hours so if i take my whole ring out will it close up?

Answer 1

No, not fully anywho. But it will be harder to put back in, depending on how far into the healing process you are. When the body is damaged or pierced, it tries to heal/close the damaged skin (hole) and if there is nothing there to prevent it (your piercing) then the longer you leave it out, the more of a problem it will be to get it back in.

Answer 2

YES IT WILL!!

it takes 1 year for it to fully heal, dont take it out, go to your piercer asap and have them fix it and make sure the ball is screwed on extra tight this time, its okay if its too tight for you to take off, you can always go back in 6 months (the minimum time you should wait until you change it but it cant be left out since still not healed) and have your piercer change it for you.

do what you can to keep it in, i dont really understand what you meant by the barbell falling out but the ring being in? maybe you mean the piercing by the ring? but if you lost the barbell then it WILL close in 5 hours. id find it and go to the nurse and put some alcohol or peroxide on it (then whipe it off, it wont be sterile but itll be sanitized and dont get any alcohol or peroxide on you) and put it back in then when you get home clean it VERY well.
