My belly button piercing has gone blue?!?

Question

i was wearing a belly bar when i was on holiday that was a butterfly and like touched around my belly button too cos it was quite big

and when i looked at the sides where it was touching my skin round my belly button had gone blue

so i changed my belly bar to a normal one and after 3 days it is still a little blue

does anyone know why it went blue?!

thanks

Answer 1

cheap/fake metal...just keep the normal one in a while and use salt water to clean the area.

it will be fine dont worry about it:-)

Answer 2

it could have just been the jewelry you had in, if it wasn't a very good quality, some of the coloring could have rubbed of onto the skin.

Answer 3

Its nothing trust me i have had that exact same thing happen to me only it turned mine green it was just the quality of the jewelry it was fake and it will turn your skin colors it nothing major although if you have a more sensitive skin could cause your piercing to get sore or even infected so just try to stay away form the cheaper body jewelry unless it says stainless steel or sterling silver something like that:) and the coloring will wear off in a few days. Hope this Helped ya.  

Answer 4

sounds like a metal reaction, is this from the same place you usually buy jewelery b/c it sounds like you were tricked into buying fake/cheap metal jewelery. make sure you always use surgical steel/gold/titanium/sterling silver 925/plastic if you have to. plastic seems to make my belly piercing bend and mishape/try to heal even after i've had it 6 years.
