Belly button piercing infected?; help !!


Question: Belly button piercing infected!?; help !
so i've had it pierced for about 2 months now!. i got it professionally done with my mom and all my friends go to this place to get it done, and none of them had any problems!. anyway, i've changed the ring a couple times and i know you shouldnt do that untill its copletly healed, after it started to feel a bit uncomfortable and it developed a kind of hard what i call a "puss" ball around it!. i tokk the other ring out and put the one i orignanly got it pierced with back in!. i soaked it with warm sea salt then cleaned it with rubbing alcohol then put some neosporn around the piercing!. Is there anything else I can do for it!? has anyone had this happen !? is there something else i can buy that would help it better!?

Answers:
cleaning advise:

ok 1st always soak your belly rings in 70% alcohol
2nd always clean your navel with original Dial liquid soap
with warm water and Q-tips sea salt is good too
3rd dont put any Neosporin on the piercing your going to make it worst and u wont let the piercing breath

My advise: maybe your allergic to the metal get an 14 k gold if u wish to keep ur belly ring!.

Hey, not trying to scare you or anything but this is my story!. I had mine done just over a year ago and it looked fine for months, then i had this ball of skin next to the actual ball of the piercing, it got bigger over time and went red and redder!. Anyway, in the end i had to take the piercing out because the skin between the 2 holes got so thin the bar wripped my skin and now im left with a bright red scar the size of a 10p piece which will probably never go!. I'm now usin bio-oil but i don't think the scar will go down much!. If i was you I''d go straight to the doctors but don't take it out, if it's infected the infection will stay in your body!. Let a doctor tell you what to do, if not go back to the place you had it done!. Use salt and water to clean it twice a day and don't fiddle!. I feel like suing the place I had mine done xWww@Answer-Health@Com
