I pierced my bellybutton w/ a safety pin & it might be infected. how do i clear !


Question: I pierced my bellybutton w/ a safety pin & it might be infected!. how do i clear it up!?
I know it was stupid to do but i really dont want to take it out!. ive been cleaning it out twice a day and all that!. i first used a smaller pin and then put a slightly bigger one in lastnight and it got real red and still hurts so im wondering about infection!. so far there is no puss or that but im just being on the safe side!. a friend said to use ear cleaning solution but i dont think its a great idea so i havent but im curious if that would work as well as sea salt!. Any advice!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
clean it twice a day with a qtip and salt water, dont put alcohol on it!. put a little tiny bit of neosporin or similar ointment on the hole, and the pin, move the pin around a lot!. if its just read and sore, oh well, if it gets really red, hot, pus,more pain, go to a dr!. wash your hands a lot so if you touch it unknowingly it wont get dirty/infected!. you can use some mild soap if you want, let the water run on it in the shower!. dont leave the soap on!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

it probably isnt infected , just irritated i would leave it alone!. If pus appears then either put ear cleaning solution on or see a doctorWww@Answer-Health@Com

ear cleaning solution after you clear up the infection, but rubbing alcohol!.
