Should I change the ring in my navel to a barbel?

Question

I just got my navel pierced about 5 weeks ago and the guy who did it told me he put the ring in because it will heal faster and its better than a barbel,but i read your paragraph and it said the barbel is better. my navel is still pink around the piercing and it is infected.my parents think i should leave it. this guy also told me to keep moving it around.

Answer 1

you should clean it thoroughly with antibacterial soap. dial is the best. and yes... a barbell is best. just make sure it's a curved one, designed for the navel. also make sure to keep the inside of the navel clear of lint and dirt, as this can irritate any infection.

Answer 2

I examine a placed up elsewhere about someone who had their piercing out for 3 weeks. It shrank to some extent the position rings does not bypass all by. The earrings are oftentimes a smaller gauge than a barbel so over the years the piercing might want to shrink. i began with a hoop, after I moved to a barbel there change right into slightly discomfort even as the piercing stretched inspite of the indisputable fact that it wasn't an challenge getting the barbel by.

Answer 3

ew..no dont change it till like 6 months,even then it isnt fully healed.if its infected it either means u cleaned it too much or not enuf,2-3 times a day for the first few weeks,mayb 3 months,then 1-2 time a day for the rest of the 6 months.but if u c it getting red or pink or puffy after u have downsized it to 1-2 times a day,make it 2-3 times a day again. NO MORE THAN 3 TIMES A DAY EEEEEEEEVR. it irretates it. try 1 at nite and 1 in morning,MAYB 1 in daytime.(afternoon)


i hope i helped,im getting mine done here soon and looked into this stuff,like a half hour ago LOL.
