its called rejection hunny, your body doesn't want it in there. Take it out, before you end up with a large rip.......He didn't do a bad job, some people's bodies just don't ever take to a piercing.......and thus it pushes it out. Your in for a world of hurt if you leave it in, infections can become septic quite quickly.
*also, a belly ring has the highest rate of rejection out of all body mods.
It's possible that the piercer did a poor job, but it is also possible that your body is simply rejecting the piercing, and is trying to push the foreign object out on it's own. It is essential that you remove the jewelery and let the mild infection clear up. Then, when you've healed, you can attempt the piercing again if you have no scarring. Otherwise, you risk a very serious infection that can leave permanent scarring and land you in the hospital for quite some time.
The best thing you can do is remove it!
I've got quite afew piercings and get really attached to them but a couple have got infected before and sometimes you just have to remove them, for your own health.
It's not that the piercer did a bad job, a bit of dirt might have just gotten into the piercings.
Or maybe you're body is having a bad reaction to the piercing itself or the jewelery.
It is quite a shock for your body to have something punctured through it and it will try it's hardest to get rid of it.
You should take it out and let the infection clear.
You can always go back and get it pierced again but do explain it got infected before and ask for advice on what product to use to clean and what jewelery is safest to use.
TAKE THE SUCKER OUT BEFORE IT GETS WORSE! It doesn't matter what you want at this point. Wash it good with an anti-bacterial soap like dial, or safeguard. Put antiseptic on it and cover with bandage during day and take it off at night to let it dry out. Repeat daily until it is dry, and clear of pus. You can also take bandage off during day and wash with hydrogen peroxide, which will help it heal. Re-bandage it. If this does not relieve the infection in a day or two see a doctor. Anytime you have an infection, it is potentially dangerous.
