Sounds like you are allergic to the jewelery on top of the infection....have a piercer change the jewelery and load it up with triple antibiotic (run it through) until tomorrow when you go.

WOW
you people are giving bad advice !?!! Every single one, what are you talking about?
DO NOT TAKE THE PIERCING OUT !!
This will trap the infection inside your body.
You need to start treating the infection first. Try cleaning it if you haven't already and go to the doc asap as an infection could get very serious.
Sounds more like an allergy to the jewelery or something actually. Black hmm?. lol@infestation.

That is not good, it will get better it'll just take time. You need to go to the doctor to have it looked at and to your piercer for some advice. But, you should definatly NOT take the piercing out. If you take the piercing out, the infection will get trapped under the skin and cause even more problems. Clean it thoroughly with sea-salt soaks daily and ant-bacterial soap twice daily.

Seeing the doctor is the best answer but if you don't/can't do that now you can always go to the drug store and but some antibiotic cream. Keep it clean and put on the antibiotic cream twice daily.

I presume you mean infected (bacteria) and not infested (with lice or similar!
Take the ring out and see your doctor ASAP

no! take the ring OUT and go to see a doctor! black tissue is dead tissue, and it can spread and kill the tissue on your stomach and keep spreading!!! you DO NOT want them to have to go into surgery to get that removed! It will get evern more infected. I just operated on someone that had the same thing.. It was not pretty!

go to a doctor. the black means dead flesh, you should have done something when it was infected in the first place. A friiend of mine had your symptoms and had to go to hospital. Now she faces another operation for skin grafts.
