first thing is to clean it often, use antibacirial ointment of some kind, you may even try hydrogen peroxide, i know that peroxide is contriversial but it works. if after a couple days its not getting better then you will have to remove the jewelery and let it heal. also make sure that its good jewelery (surgical steel).

When I got mine done the first time they didn't do it right, by which I mean in the wrong spot. It was suppose to be done slightly back from where it was originally done. So you may have that same problem.
Mine swelled up, I took it out, squeezed out the infection, went back to the place I got it done in the first place. The owner realized the problem. I had to wait untill it was completely healed and he re-pierced it for free. Never had a problem since.

it doesnt sound contaminated... needless to say, i won't be able to one hundred% ensure that without seeing it, however the kind you defined it, it sounds great. while your sister kicked you, it could have brought about a tear contained in the desirable, only shop cleansing it 3-5 circumstances an afternoon with the bactine, and 2 times an afternoon with the cleansing soap. once you utilize the bactine with a q- tip ensure you're transforming into each and every of the crusties off the hoop till now you progression it via, if there are crusties on it, that could additionally reason a tear. oftentimes the indications of an infection are... warmth coming from the piercing internet site yellow-ish and on occasion bloody puss severe swelling. in case you dont have those, then you definately are stable to pass. only shop cleansing it dilligently. while you're incredibly uncertain, pass returned on your piercer. 9 circumstances out of 10 they're happy that might assist you out. i propose in spite of everything, that's their artwork, they dont prefer you to lose it.

I have my belly pierced but hasn't ever gonne bad.
However, I know that you have to put water and salt with a smalL piece of cotton twice a day for a month (when u first have it pierced). If nothing happens you should see a doctor. Good luck! :)

i don't know anyone who has NOTgotten infected belly button piercing. I used Bactine spray on mine b/c it numbs the area, cleans it good, and doesn't burn. If it starts to look like there are streaks going up your skin towards your heart, get to the ER quick.

Swollen and HOT TO THE TOUCH means see the doc ASAP. You obviously have a nasty infection that needs to be checked out ASAP. Call your doc when you read this or go to urgent care and get it treated.

take the ring out and keep it out
clean it with alcohol (preferably) if you dont have alcohol clean it w/ peroxide or iodine (maybe)
and if it doesnt get any better go to the ER or doctors
