Well I got my belly pierced way back in November. It dont hurt anymore or anything, and it looks like it is almost completely healed, but sometimes there is still like that yukky fluid that comes out. Its not a lot or anything, but is it normal for it to still be doing this????

it takes up to six months to completely heal, so yes, it's normal.
i have one too, and it wasn't completely ok for some time.
just make sure you clean it regurlarly and you should be fine.

I have had mine pierced before and it never healed really well. I had a sensitivity to the metal which caused that sort of thing. My advice is to try jewelry made of titanium and use sea salt soaks to help healing. The "yukky fluid" you see is likely lymphatic fluid and is normal if just crusty. If yellowish or greenish, it could be pus which would need to be looked at by a doctor to make sure not infected.

Not too normal but it can happen if you aren't fully healed. What color is this discharge? If its clear or whitish, its normal lymph and just means that your piercings is not really healed. If its greenish, bloody or smelly, then its a sign of a mild infection and you should get on antibiotics asap. While there shouldn't be discharge, I strongly suggest you use some salt soaks every day to help clear this up.

If it is an infection, do not remove the jewelry because the infection can get trapped inside and cause more harm.

From back in November, I'd say no. Lymph usually only comes out during the first few stages of healing...
Go see your piercer. And keep cleaning it like you would as if it were new.

Lymph is normal for up to a year or so after getting a peircing. Don't pick at any build up, gently remove it in the shower.

yes thats normal. its only 4 months old and it can take up to a year to fully heal. mine is 9 months old and still leaks sometimes.
it is normal. as long as the fluid (its called lymph) isnt green then its fine.

OK its like when you get your ears piered and you have to move the ring around every day or something like that and have the liquid to put in their so tha the white stuff wont come out..... Basically its like a little pimple or something but if you get it all out it won't happen anymore and get some of that cleaner for a Clarie's and it will heal
