I got my bellybutton pierced about 2 1/2 months ago and now like where the bar is under my skin its all red above and looks like it is turning into a scab. What does this mean? and how can I fix it?
Thank you!

i had that before. just put some bactine on it, just on the top not IN the hole, on the bottom and top. when you go in the shower just wash it with regular soap and water. DONT play with it with your fingers, because the oil from your skin will get into it and it makes it get infected more easily. just dont touch it and clean it, and if it persists just message me for more

Don't put Neosporin on piercings. Neosporin is used to make things heal. You don't want your piercing to 'heal'. You want the hole to be there. Plus, Neosporin doesn't let the piercing 'breathe' the way it needs to. A piercing isn't the same as a cut or a burn. Unless you want the piercing to heal, don't use antibiotic creams on it.
Instead, use H20 Ocean Spray :

The most important thing is to keep it moist because if the skin gets hard it can heal with a funky bump or whatever. Neosporin is really good, but any kind of antibiotic ointment will do. It should be like a Vasaline consistency, but with medication to keep it from getting infected. Don't be afraid to take the bar out, put some on the bar, and put it in the hole. Don't pick at it!
