Q: i got my belly button peirced 6 weeks ago, but it is still kinda red at the top hole. what should i do to make it not red anymore. plus, how do i know if i can change the ring yet. like how do i know if it's healed?
Don't put ear care stuff on it like was told below.. Well it could work, but where i got mine done i was told to not put that on it.. Anyway, the redness will be there for awhile, you cant make it go away because your skin is still irritated. Wash it with orange dial soap in the shower, or use salt water and lay on your back and just pour a little in your bellybutton, that heals it faster. You shouldn't change it til 3 months after the peircing. Bellybutton piercings have the longest healing time out of any peircing. It takes at least 7 months to heal completely. I wuold also recommend going back to the peircer to have them change it, unless its one of those run down tatoo shops, because when i went back they cleaned it so it wouldnt get infected when they changed it and everything. After that i changed it myself again, and it got infected because i didnt haev the proper cleaning stuff, and my bellybutton wasnt quite healed yet, and believe me an infection there is the worst thing possible, it gets reallly gross. Hope this helped

yah, i think it MIGHT b infected. the puss still comes out of it. i dk. we will see. thanks
