You should clean it out with maybe peroxide or alcohol. I'm not your mother but I don't want you to get infected.

Okay well, theres this things called 'gauges', and they determine hot big a peice of jewelry for your belly button is. A standard bellybutton ring is 14 gauge, and a sewing needle and a standard earring is like your 20 or 18 (the higher the size is, the smaller the actual jewlry is). You should clean it with 'bactine', and im not sure how to get it to make it for for a bellybutton ring. My ears are peirced and i can fit my bellybutton rings through them but it took a while for them to do that. you should let the hole close up and get it done professionaly, and dont rate me bad because this is the truth, sorry, think about things before you do them..

1. an anaseptic or warm salt water is the best
2. i would probally not do that, if will just make it worse and with a bigger chance of a infection..but if you insist then i would take a belly earring and just keep trying to fit it in the best way DO NOT TRY AND SHOVE IT IN!
well i hope i helped! and good luck! [ loochalo's advice column | Ask loochalo A Question ]

Teza answered Tuesday May 17 2005, 4:08 pm: You shouldnt of got it done perfesionally because it can get affected. Get a belly button ring and try to put it in your belly. It will become wider like that. Clean it with warm watter and a little soap or salt. x0` [ Teza's advice column | Ask Teza A Question ]
