Bellybutton piercing

Home More advice Beauty & Style

I just pierced my own bellybutton with a safety pin. I did sterilize the pin... And I have been keeping it clean with rubbing alcohol, some kind of peroxide, and this stuff called bacteine, all which claim to prevent infections...

The area is a little red, though, and I'm worried about it... is it possible that it's just skin irritation from the peroxide and rubbing alcohol? Or is it definitely an infection, in which case what should I use to clear it up?
