Is my belly button piercing ok?

I got my belly button pierced in august of 2007.its still red and sometimes has puss around it.but I wanted to know if thats just because it hasnt healed or if its just soap.I really want to change it but I dont want it to get infected.any ideas?

it sounds like its infected.

it's infected. and you're not suppose to use soap on belly button piercings for a while, it makes it heal wrong and the alchohol is bad for it too.
it's probably infected, you need to get to a doctor asap and get it treated before it gets serious.

um..I think its not like scarred yet...you need to put antibiotics the first month...it sound like you didnt because I got my eyebrow pierced when I turned 12 ...then my sister got it when she turned 17 ...I put an antibiotic on each side ((where the little balls are))...every single day for about a month ...and then you can take I of with no problem because the holes are already scarred or something like that...well ..what happened to my sister was that she didnt listened to me and she didnt apply the antibiotics as I told her to ..so about a year later her piercing wasnt scarred ye ..because she took it off for about a week and it completely closed...I havent put my piercing for about a month and the holes are still there...so what you need to do is buy an antibiotic...apply it to both ends of the piercing..when you take a shower rinse it off...and apply some more...&& if you dont believe me .. go to a tatto shop or whereever you got your piercing and ask what should you apply to piercings in order for them to heal ...ohh and about that puss thing...its normal for it to come out...

Well my sister got her nose pierced 1 year ago and it is still a little red and has a litle puss coming out of it,so I dont know~my sister's nose is okay,so I think your bellybutton is okay.But I'm not for sure,sorry!
