I got my belly button pierced at home safely, and it was doing fine, until I had to replace the jewelry because it was uncomfortable.
Ever since I replaced it with a smaller sterling silver ring it has been getting redder and redder. I made sure to strerilze the ring and the area around my belly button first.
At first I was only using anti bacterial soap. It was only a little pink then.
Then when I realized I was getting an infection I tried hydrogen peroxide.
I then moved to seasalt, because a friend told me it worked. Ever since I started using the sea salt, the piercing has started pussing and bleeding. I also have red bumps inside my belly button.
I also use bactine, antibacterial soap, and neosporin.
Is it possible that I am using too much seasalt, or my body is having an alergic reaction to something? What is the best way to cure this infection??
