is my belly piercing infected?

I just got my piercing a little over a week ago. and it’s been fine. but a couple days ago I found that after doing the daily salt soak there was a little green thing that was attatched to the bottom hole. A friend recommended that I just do the salt soak more often but to be careful because it may be infected. After doing the salt soak 3 times a day for the past 4 days, it’s been fine. but today I noticed the bottom and top hole were pusing out a white fluid and there was crusty dried skin on the top hole. I peeled back the skin and did the daily salt soak but while cleaning it after the soak I realized there was yellow fluid on the Q-tip I used. is it infected?

Answer #1

green isnt normal but white/yellow is its just puss and its part of the healing process it will take a month or so to go away and 3+ months for your new wound to heal completely

Answer #2

yes. mine did the same exact thing when I first got mine done but I just kept cleaning it and after a while it goes away. I was going to take mine out but it is perfect now. dont worry just keep cleaning it.
