Is my belly piercing infected?

I got me belly pierced on june 30 and its now july 27 and it has pus coming out its clear when I take a shower but when I go some where and I come back home and begin to clean it, it looks a little yellow and there is like crust around it and there is like a swollen part on the bottom of my piercing where my navel is and it doesn’t hurt only when I begin to clean it for the first time in that day but only a little bit…so I was wondering if it is infected and if I need to go to the hospital to get antibiotics?

Answer #1

You should keep it clean daily with hot salt water, but i’ve had my belly pierced 4 times and they all rejected. Your body could be rejecting the piercing,maybe you will have to think about removing it.

Answer #2

well i had a belly piercing 2 and the same thing was happening when I got it .I think is just healing, but u have 2 clean it twice a day with warm water mixed with the salt that they give u untill it heals. it takes time, take care of it try not 2 go 2 the pool or lakes it can get infected if it get’s worse I think u should go 2 the hospital and yes they might put u on antibiotics. I hope this helped

Answer #3

go buy bactine it clears out infection and also prevents infection? mine did the same thing except with the yellow pus it got really red and crusty but i used the bactine and in like 3 weeks it was fine
