Infected navel piercing?
It was about 2 months ago when I got my belly button pierced. It hurt for a few days after, but it didn't really puss. The ring my piercer used was a circle one that looks something like this:

After just a few weeks my piercing didn't hurt to touch, it didn't puss, and it wasn't red.
My piercer told me to wait at least 3 months before I changed it, but I planned to wait longer.
So it's been more than too months now since i've had it done, and suddenly one day, it started to hurt a lot to touch, and bloody looking brown puss came out. Now the middle part is swollen and brown puss is still coming out often. I am very concerned and I don't want to take it out yet, please help me!

Navel piercings are tricky. When my sons girlfriend had it done she was so skinny that the piercing actually nicked something internally. I don't remember what was nicked only that she was one sick girl for quite a while. This is probably not the case for you.
My advise whenever anyone is sick or injured is to see a doctor. We are not doctors. We can not make diagnoses and even if someone had something like what you are having does not mean you will have the same results. Only a doctor can make diagnoses and treat you.
You are having a pussy discharge which is a sign of an infection. This probably will require a topical antibiotic and possibly an oral one to clear up. Over the counter antibiotic creams may not be strong enough. Only your doctor can prescribe medication that can truly treat this infection. So see your doctor.
There is nothing here to be embarrassed about, these things happen. You will not be the first person your doctor has treated for this and I guarantee you will not be the last. So go see the doctor and have this taken care of properly.

i got mine in november and i have had so many problems with it i think my problem was changing it not even a month after getting. big mistake and then i kept changing after it would hurt and bleed all the time and i had to change it back to the original ring i got. i read that if it is infected then your best bet is to leave it in because the puss will come out and if you take it out it will close and the puss will stay inside and it can become much worse so leave it in. dont touch it to much and use H2o go to hot topic or back to where you got it peirced and spray it on that all the time not to much but everyday twice or three times a day and dont change it too soon and youll be fine.
