I Got My Belly Botton Pierced Last Monday & This Red Mark Showed Up Like 2 Days After. It's Been There Since Still Haven't Went Away :( . I Just Wanted To Know If This Happened To Anyone Else??

Question

Answer

You needed a longer bar for it to heal properly. 
Get hot water and mix sea salt in it to make a solution & clean it a few times a day w that and a qtip. Also foaming antibacterial soap from dial works wonders for that get the unscented one and keep it clean with the soap once a day

Answer

Looks like a start of an infection or your body is rejecting it. Get some sea salt spray and if you can change the bar, change it too a longer one. I have 6 piercings

Answer

Bactine antiseptic spray will help. It looks like it's getting infected and that can hurt. You don't want to use anything to strong on it like rubbing alcohol or hydrogen peroxide but if you go to just about any tattoo place they will say bactine is fine. There also should be other antiseptic sprays you can use. Don't use it more that 4 times a day. If it starts to hurt bactine should help with that too but if you start using it before that it should stop it all together. Also dove is what I'm told is best for the soap you use and no scented soaps that will make it worse. I have ten piercings and it helped me a lot.

Answer

Never use peroxide. That's not smart. Only use warm walk water soaks 15 minutes twice a day at least

Answer

Its infected, clean it good and it should get better with time. Mine done that when i used peroxide, some stuff ur supose to clean it with bothers it more than others. Hopefully it will clear up!

Answer

I got a horrible staff infection in mine and had to take it out, and now I have a horrible scar from everything that happened with it. I would say try to make the redness and infection (if you have one) go away and if you can't get it to then just take it out and retry, but don't let it get to the point where it goes to a staff infection.

Answer

The bar definitely doesn't look long enough, which could really be irritating and take longer to heal/harder to keep clean. When I got mine done I cleaned it AT LEAST twice a day (warm water & sea salt soak). Once it was healed completely was when I switched to a shorter bar. Unfortunately though, after switching to a shorter one mine rejected overnight. (Which I think was because of the change in metal but I'm not sure) I'd love to get mine redone though. Hopefully next time it doesn't reject, because it takes SO long for the skin to repair itself back together when that happens. Mine rejected way back in September/October and it just recently started looking more normal. Obviously there's still a scar there, which is another reason I want it redone. When cleaning yours, be sure you wash hands before AND after touching anywhere near your piercing. And I know its hard not to mess with it but don't be messing with it unless you're cleaning it so it'll heal quicker. Good luck!

Answer

Yup...Infection Starting!..I Was Sad I Had To Take Mine Out Because It Got So Swollen The Only Reason Why I Didn't Take It Out Sooner Was Because Mine Was On So Tight I Had To Use Pliers To Remove It. Still Haven't Decided If I'm Going To Repierce It And Try A Different Metal See If That'll Work

Answer

That is the beginning of an infection. I got one when inpiercedcmy belky. It's a hard place to keep dry and clean and without irritation. Clean with rubbing alcohol or something else proven to kill bacteria, keep dry and do not touch or play with it!!

Answer

That could be start of infection.
