i got my belly button pierced in april of 2006 and it has healed perfectly fine - no infections, nothing went wrong with it. now it seems like, there is less skin holding the piercing in, almost like the ring doesn't go in as deep as it used to. it might just be a little bit, or maybe i'm crazy, but is this normal? if it is becoming a smaller amount of skin holding it in, what do i do? if i take it out how long do i have to wait to get it repierced? help would be appreciated.
i have pictures from the day i got it done & now if that will help anybody.

It might not be though. Give it a bit of time. There's nothing you can do, really. But it wouldn't hurt to take a trip to a piercer and ask them to take a look.
To get repierced, it's recommeneded to wait months before going through it all again, because for one, it will hurt alot more. My pain tolerance is high and once I got repierced, it actually hurt alot due to the scar tissue.
It's also best to allow it to heal as fully as possible before getting pierced again.
I hope all is well though. Ask if you need any further advice. [ thelaura's advice column | Ask thelaura A Question ]
