Well if it's not infected and such you're probably doing a great job. But here is some advice to keep it clean. As you probably know don't play with it, spin it etc. If you're wearing something you think might get ripped put a loose band-aid on it. It's good to wash it three times a day. Use anti-bacterial soap (such as Dial). Rub your stomach so the soap covers it. Then clean on side of the ring, turn it and clean the other side. Rinse it and turn it while you rinse. Afterwards use "Sea Salt" mixture which you can get at your grocery store and pour it over while you turn it. I really hope this helped and I actually got this information from [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) if you want to look farther into it. I really hope this helped and good luck! =) [ chrissabelle37's advice column | Ask chrissabelle37 A Question ]

If you're fine and it's not infected, just keep up what you're doing! - Make sure your soap has Triclosan.
If you want it to heal faster, dissolve half a teaspoon of sea-salt or table-salt in a quarter of a cup of boiling water. Let this cool a little, then place in a clean glass or medicine cup and lie down with it upturned on your navel for 10-15 minutes, once or twice a day. You can also use Saline solution (available at any chemist). Rinse with fresh fresh water and dry throroughly with a clean tissue afterwards.
