First of all put the original back in until it is completely healed because it is made out of surgical stainless steel so that it does not get infected and do not use peroxide to clean the wound because it kills all the germs even the good ones that will help you heal!.
BTW use dial and alcohol or neosporinWww@Answer-Health@Com

my advice is to take it out if it is infected!. I am a nurse and I have seen bellyrings infected!. Do you put any kind of antibotic ointment on it!? If not, I would strongly suggest using it several times aday!. Maybe put it on there everytime you go to the bathroom or do something quite often so that you will remember to put it on there!. Wearing loose clothes to keep from rubbing it might be a good idea too!. You might try these suggestions before you take it out!. If you have already did these things, I would strongly suggest that you take it out to futher any othere complications!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
