Infection.. help please?!?

Question

My belly piercing is infected.

It's bleeding a lot, and pussing green stuff.

I took it out for about 5 minutes and cleaned it up some. I cleaned the ring too.

It's still bleeding, pussing, and now my abdomen hurts.

I've had it for about 6-7 months.

What should I do BEFORE I see a doctor??

Thanks!!

Answer 1

Well you distinquished the fact that, it's an infection. But what i'm worried about is what level of infection, and how you got it. If it was caused by an inappropriate method of piercing; you need to contact that individual who pierced it, before you see your Doctor for treatment. But you better "shake a leg" "get ur butt in gear" before this turns into an abcess or cellulitus. Another thing is you may have had dirty hands or a bath in polluted waters (don't laugh what about swimming?).

good luck to ya

Answer 2

go to your family Dr or hospital ASAP:you need antibiotics.

I think the metal/material the piercing is made of, making you worse:my sister had this problem.

the piercing was not healing for months!

she removed the original one.

Buy a simple ring or whatever you put in the piercing:make sure its surgical stainless steel.

go to the hospital, get antibiotics for the infection!

Answer 3

I THINK YOU SHOULD TAKE IT OUT IF ITS NOT HEALED BY 6 MONTHS THEN SOMETHING IS WRONG BUT IF YOU DONT WANT TO TAKE IT OUT GO SEE THE DOCTOR ASAP AND SEE IF THERES SOMETHING HE/SHE CAN DO OTHER THAN TAKING IT OUT
