Have your doctor remove it for you. She will want to cleanse the area and place a good antibacterial dressing on it followed by homecare instruction. You have an infection and it definitely needs to be addressed. Infections in and around the navel can get serious. Infections ANYWHERE in or on the body should be taken seriously.

If your doctor's office is closed, try a walk-in clinic or go to emergency at your local hospital even though this is not technically an emergency. I just don't want to see you go another week without proper care.

Take out the peircing now, use and anti-biotic cream like bacitracin and apply a bandaid over the site for at least a week...

Remove the jewellery
Clean the area with antiseptic
Add a bandaid
