Belly piercing opened

Bea

Hi gals! Question:

I took my belly piercing out 6 years ago when I was pregnant with my son. I assumed it closed up. I am now 26 weeks with my 2nd child..and the piercing hole is pulling open and is very painful. Its red and enflamed today too. Has anyone experienced this? Any advice?

Im reading conflicting things that i can use neosporin, or peroxide. I dont want to hurt myself or the baby.

**update: thank you all for the advice and stories. I of course kept messing with it last night (while baby was kicking me back) and a solid piece of tissue or something like whats in a pimple came out.(sorry if that skeeved you out, lol) It feels so much better today and i have been cleaning the area with alcohol. This was a definite random question so thank you all for chiming in! Feel good everyone ❤.
