I pierced my navel

I pierced my navel about a month and it was good for the first few weeks bt now it seems infected. It has whiteish/yellowish puss coming out of it and its dark around the top hole and when I move the ring up it hurts. I think its kinda weird that the bottom hole is fine its not dark and it doesnt hurt =S

Can some one give me some advice on what to do. I have been doing the sea salt soaks and the saline soaks but I dont think its working…PLEASE HELP

You stupid girl. I’m currentlu undertaking a body piercing course, and my sister is a professional body piercer. I don’t think you realise how dangerous that is, to pierce yourself without knowing what to do. First of all, the needle or whatever you used to pierce yourself with was probably ridden with germs, and you needed to sterilize it. Like all the other tools you need to use when piercing your navel. Second of all, I doubt you wiped the piercing site with an antibacterial swab did you? Third of all, take it out. It needs to heal, and then you get a professional body piercer to do it. You could’ve gone was too far when piercing yourself. It is dangerous. Do you know that if you pierce your eyebrow, and hit a particular nerve, you could paralyze yourself forever? Didn’t think so.

THAT’S WHY YOU GET A PROFESSIONAL BODY PIERCER TO DO IT!

Tsk. Idiot, you could’ve really hurt yourself, in more ways than one!

Go to the drugstore and get a bottle of Bactine ask the Pharmacy to show you where it is. It helps promote healing and will also keep any infection to a minimual amount. Use it at least 4 times a day.
