It sounds like it's infected. When I got mine done I didn't have puss come out or bleeding. It was just a little sore.

Actually you probably infected it from changing it so much and most likely it isnt completely healed yet, this type of piercing norm. takes 4-12 months to heal completely and that means there shuld be no more crusting at all on the piercing. You dont want to put neosporin on it it can clog the hole and trap bacteria also dont use peroxide it can cause scar tissue and alcohol will dry it out. 1st you should put the original jewelry back in (even though it may not be as fashionable as you like its the perfect jewelry to heal it with) go to the grocery store to the salt isle buy sea salt and 2 gallons of distilled water from the water isle. MIx 4 teaspoons of the sea salt into 1 gal. and leave one plain.. get a small cup or container and add the salt water (its like saline) cup it over the piercing for 5-10 mins then rinse it with the plain distilled water. Do that 3xs a day. Avoid soaking in a bathtub with soapy products shower for a while instead.. the water in the tub contains bacteria and you dont want to soak the piercing in that. If it still isnt healing go to the Dr and see if they can give you a antibiotic and keep doing the salt water cleanings until its healed and definelty dont change it anymore for a long while.. if you arent sure its completely heled go to the piecer they will be able to tell you. Hope that helps = ) good luck!

I didn't change mine for 3 months. I got it done about two years ago and when it was first pierced I had puss, it was reddish and sore. If you changed it and the metal of the new ring irritated your belly button ... well that's bad. put the original ring back in. Keep it in, don't even think about changing it for 3 months. Clean it at least twice a day. I just used a non-scented anti-bacterial hand soap and I have never had a problem since. If this doesn't clear up within a week or if ti gets worse I would go to the place where you got it done or to a doctor's.

yes it is normal. If your worried about got back to place where you go it piercer because Doctors don't treat many people with piercing. It takes a good year for a belly piercing to 100%. One piercing that I would never do gain because of how long it takes to heals. I have my noise, tongue, nipples and belly button.

I think you should just take it out now. If you're lucky, it might not scar because it hasn't been that long that you've had it done. i had my beelt button pierced almost 10 years ago and i have a scar that does not look attracive post- children.

Sounds infected. you're not suppose to change it for a few weeks after getting it done. try cleaning it with a product called Bactine (buy it at CVS or something). That's what i used (still do) to keep mine clean, and it kills bacteria.

It's infected. You are not supposed to change it so early. Put some hydrogen peroxide on it and antibacterial ointment.

Sounds like you need to see a doctor since there is pus there.
