advice
I got my belly button pierced about a week ago. I clean it with salt water and I put antibiotic ointment on it. I clean it 4 times a day and add the ointment on every time I clean it. But now there is a red circle around the piercing about the size of the top ball and its peeling. It doesnt hurt anymore unless it gets snaged or its pushed on. I dont touch with my hands not even to put the ointment on I use qtips. In the morning there is crusties but I was told thats normal. What is wrong with my piercing? Is this normal? What do I do to fix it? Should I take it out? Please help. Thank you.
Just thought I'd add an answer to this as I have lots of piercings.. All the salt/ointments you're putting on it is probably drying it out, creating the red/dry skin.
You don't need to clean it 4 times a day. Once/twice is enough and stop with the ointments. Perhaps reduce the salt in the water too and I bet it clears up!
