At this point it shouldn't be too red or painful, there may still be a bit of discharge, but it shouldn't be constantly oozing. Usually around 6-8 weeks the piercing starts to heal and the fistula (which is the tube of flesh inside) will begin to form. Keep in mind that everyone is very different, so this is an average generalization based on a 6-8 week time frame. Navel piercings take at least 6 months to heal but can take up to a year in some cases. Patience is key.
Its important to still keep the area clean and not to change the jewelry yet to ensure full and proper healing. If you notice any usual bumps or have concerns, you should visit your piercer because he or she will be able to help you best since seeing the problem is better than any description.

6 weeks is not long enough for it to heal. You MUST keep up with the daily cleaning and use the antibacterial soap that they gave you. Mine was still sore a little at 6 weeks and took a long time to heal completely. Be patient and take care of it. Don't keep changing the jewelry. I hope the piercer gave you jewelry that you are not allergic to, mine was surgical stainless steel & I have not had a problem with it. Try to wear lower cut jeans that do not rub on it constantly, that will help. Good luck, you will love it by this summer when it is healed more.

it is okay. besides the undeniable fact that it chilly also be a case of toomuch excitement. From the right of your abdomen you spot this a lot. attempt searching in a mirrow and discover out if it stands proud an similar. I had an similar adventure yet now that i'm 12 weeks pregnant' i trust it grow to be no longer to major on the instantaneous.

Well, I've never had my belly button pierced, but I know a ton of people who do have it pierced. It's different for everyone. Some people are super tender in that area for a while, and others are perfectly normal. Some take it out, and it starts bleeding profusly. It's different for almost everybody.

mine took forever to heal. at 6 weeks it was still red and irritated. for the first year i never changed the jewelry, and i cleaned it with bactine every day. it took a good 6 months before it was "comfortable". maybe i just heal slowly.

It may be a little red and slightly tender, you should be getting to the comfortable stage.

you should be able to change the ring by now. some discharge is normal, swelling should be gone. Continue to clean it in anti bacterial soap now more than ever because you are touching the jewelry that is entering your body.

it should have healed completely by now & u should be able to change the ring. Did u use the spray or disinfectant they gave you to put on it twice a day?
