Navel piercing infection

Clean it with salt water solution a couple of times a day and see if that helps. And yeah stop picking at it cause it will make it worse.
Hope it goes okay!

Boil some water, and use that to scald out a container. Boil some more water, and add salt to it at a concentration of one teaspoon salt to one pint of water. Note this is not very strong!

Then you'll need something like an egg cup or a shot glass. Put some warm soution in it, kinda bend forwards slightly and put it on your piercing. Then swish it around and ideally leave it on for 5-10 mins. Dry it with cotton buds or soemthing. Repeat about 3 times a day as necessary.

sudocreme! dip the stud in the creme and replace in naval, this will get the creme in the area and will heal nicely, i had that problem with one of my ear piercings.

ok it sounds really bad....like u def have an infection!!!
when i had mine done the same thing happened.
this is how i got rid of it...this might seems pretty extreme but it worked!! i doubt salt water really works too well on an infection like this...
firstly dont take the bar out cos putting it back in will be excrutiating. after washing liberally with plenty of salt water and a clean tissue i would lie on my back(so that the liquid didnt totally spill everywhere) and pour strongish diluted dettol (the instructions are on the bottle) into my belly button and all over the piercing and make sure it really went in and out of the 'wound' fully by moving the bar up and down gently. then pat it dry and leave it to the air until it's dry. instead of dettol i would sometimes use surgical spirit.
juno's advice about the shot glass sounds like quite a good idea for it too...
this needs to be done at least twice a day if not 3 times. you might find it helps to cover it up during the day with a dressing so that nothing can rub on it, catch it (pain!!!) and so that it really can't get dirty, but it's probably better to leave it to the air at night.
hopefully you dont need to do this for more than a week.
when it's calmed down a bit you really need to be using that savlon spray( the clear one in the blue bottle) or salt water once or twice a day until you are sure the thing has healed properly all the way through.
and picking it/playing with it really will not help. but i think you knew that....

I got my navel pierced about five months ago, and up until a few weeks ago it was fine. But it's suddenly started getting all pussy underneath and bleeding a bit and it hurts when I touch it. I keep picking at the scabby bit and touching it though which has probably made it worse so I'm going to stop doing that! I'm scared I've got an infection . Any ideas what I can do?

To all those people who have it done, what exactly do you expect to look like when you're 80? :thumpdown
