I just got my navel pierced last friday and it hasn't been too bad until the last few days. I have been consistant with peroxide and antibacterial soap and yet today it is red, crusted over, hot to the touch, and swollen. Also my stomach is a bit swollen and is also hot to the touch and it hurts for me to stand up straight. How long should I let this go on before having a doctor check it? Or is this just normal?

This is definately a sign of an infection going on, so you should see your doctor immediately for an exam and treatment.

Its infected! Redness along can indicae the start of an infection, but the crusty swollenness is a dead giveaway. Better get to the Dr. and ytou probably have a painful few days coming up.

Maybe you should get that checked.. the last things you should use is alcohol and peroxide

Peroxide is one of the WORST things you can use to clean your piercing.
HYDROGEN PEROXIDE
Hydrogen peroxide has limited antiseptic effectiveness and damages dermal cells.

take it out now. maybe the ring that is use is not genuine titanium. this can cause puss coming from the peircing. go get it checked out at the doctor before you get poisoned by it.

That was a real smart move wasn't it? You better get to a Dr. now and prepare to get a lecture. Did you know that you can get hepatitis, HIV and even AIDs from piercings and tatoos?
