Question

ok, i just changed my navel peircing for the first time and when i put the new ring in yesterday it didnt hurt at all but than when i woke up this morning it hurts and its real sore. its not red or anything, is it just because i changed it and is it normal? how long will it hurt? thanks in advance!!!

Answer 1

yeah its probably not used to the new piece of jewelry, but there's nothing to worry about, it's just a little irritated, just keep cleaning it the way you usually do and it will be fine in about a week or so

Answer 2

If you waited the amount of time that they told you to wait before changing the original ring, then yes it should be alright. When I changed mine for the first time it was a bit tender for about a week, but that soon went away. Sometimes it would hurt for a while if I banged my stomach on something or got the ring caught but other than that after about a week it should be virtually painless!

If it starts to turn like red or purple and stays that way for more than a few days consult your doctor, you could have an infection or allergy to the ring you just put in!

Best of luck! ♥

Answer 3

well maybe you poked some flesh when you put it in.it will hurt for a few day and good luck

Answer 4

When I changed the ring for the first time, it wasn't sore and it was a month after when I got it pierced, you could have slept on it funny, that's what I would assume cause usually it shouldn't hurt when you put a new one in in less you did it before a month.
