Is my belly button infected?

I got my belly button pierced on Friday 3-4 days ago. It was fine Saturday and then I went to bed on Saturday night and it was the first night I had slept on my stomach and on Sunday morning it was a little red. It wasn't bad but it wasn't good. Then the...

next morning (Monday morning) it was more red and it was sore and that night I had also slept on my stomach too. It got a little better throughout the day but now on Monday night it is red again but not as bad as this morning is this normal?? It's not swollen and puss isn't coming out, it's just red and sore. Should I be worried??

maybe you should see a doctor or it's just irritated

Make appointment with your physician for check up.

Its all normal, when i got mine done 7 years ago, it took 4 months for it to completly stop pusing and for the swelling to go completely away and heal. So its all normal. My best friend who got it done on the same day as me got an infection, she has this red jelly like stuff coming out of the whole, so if you see any of that then start to worry and go to the doctor, but its going to take a few months for it to be completely ok.

its prob just iiritated i would just be careful an still clean it an everythin it should go down but if it starts pusin i would get it checked.. i got mine done 2 yrs ago an took a week or 2 to fully heal it wasnt bad but i washed it like 2-3 times a day to lol good luck

llove always megan

hey well i got a piercing and when i got it i also slept on my stomach because i was use to sleeping like that well anyways yeah and the same thing happend to me it was red for a few days but nothing happend it got better because i was cleaning it but dont worry there is nothing wrong with it just take care of good ok hopefully it gets better the reason why it like that its because its swollen even thou.. it dont look like it

Omg. I'm so glad I stumbled across this site. I got my belly button pierced 6 days ago. Which was a tuesday. The thursday after that I went to the beach and sometimes throughout the day I forgot about it and sometimes found it surrounded by sand. I washed the sand away with water from my water bottle but now it's gone a little red and what looks to me like a little scab around the top hole. But this makes sense to me because my piercings always bleed. I'd just like to thank you I can rest in peace now!!

definitely no, look you can always go to a tattoo artist to get answers. Blieve me they know. I have had my belly button pierced twice on top and bottom, I used alcohol and neosporin although docs will tell you that those are the two things you should almost always avoid. My bellybutton was infected and I was about to give up until I tried this. Hope you feel better and in about 6 months you should be better if you take care of it. A navel ring is a foreign object in your body so naturally your body will reject it. Don't give up and don't worry!

I got mine done a few days ago. it's normal to get red, it's just irritated. I hit it all the times on accident. it hurts really bad at first then it settles down and isn't too bad. just keep cleaning it and try to remember that it's there! haha good luck

HELP!!! I have had my belly pierced when I was 13, im now 19. and the other month I wanted to change my belly bar, but the belly I had in was a little bit smaller so the hole started to heal (I didnt know). I tried to changed the belly bar but it was really sore so I put the old one back in. a couple days later went really red and sore so I started cleaning it twice a day. the redness has gone down but a red lumb as grown to the bottom of ny piercing (in my belly button) and the inside of the piercing had scabbed up. people have told me to take the piercing out which I have. is that the right thing to do and how can I treat it? thankyou

so I just got my pierced about 6 days and it is red and whtie stuff is dried around it should I be worried because tell me what to do like I used the H2OCean and that is hwat made it red so I started to use bectine is that okay for it ? I use salt and water and it started to puss white what do I do

no its not infected its red because it has just had a needle right through it thats all. dont be worried its fine but remember to clean it 3 times a day with cooled boiled water and a tea spoon of salt.

CAN someone Help??? I got my belly button pierced along time ago, but it fell out in the pool playing 3yrs later. I didn't noticed till the end of the day never found the ring and decided to leave it out. Around 7 or 8yrs later I was wondering why my piercing never closed because I heard it heals really quick,so I told my husband and he decided to squeeze it and to our surprise pus came out.I know sounds a bit gross, but I'm glad he did. Anyway it's been 2 or 3yrs now and I'm still able to squeeze pus out of it. I noticed the hole is looking smaller, but is this normal? to still have pus? now I live in a different country and I don't have a doctor to go to and they all speak Spanish and my first language is English. I don't want any miss communication with my belly button being involve. Does anyone know having pus after all these years normal? I was even thinking to get stitches just to close it up for good. I don't want to have a baby then have it stretch out one day.
Thanks for your help and sorry for the long post!!!

I qot my belly pierced in July I was just realizing its still red but not as much at the end of it, it has a red lump! I took it out a few times to clean it all good, but I have no idea if this redness will ever go away. All my friends already changed their belly rings and they haven't even had it a month yet ! what is going on ?
