Is this piercing infected ?
So I️ pierced my nipples and belly button at home ( I️ know it wasn’t the smartest or most sanitary but it was to save $$$ ). My nipples are healing up just fine , however my bellybutton has been pretty weird . So far it has gotten red , pain not so bad but the other day I️ could feel it every time it brushed up against my clothes . I️ just did it this past week with my boyfriends help , so it’s not perfect; it’s a thinner piece of skin which is why I️ think it looks a little rough , but there’s been crust . Just wanted to check in and see if it looked normal .


So this is it in its more ugly looking stages . This is one from yesterday and today before cleaning it . It looks more purplish in these , I️ think from bruising and such .



This is after cleaning with Bactine and saltwater .
Update : Ok so there is no infection like I️ figured . However I️ took I️t out so I️ can redo I️t once I️t heals . Lol there were so many mixed responses , and for those that say I️ should’ve got this professionally done , I️ literally know the risks . But realistically speaking you’re not gonna get a fucking infection unless you literally slobber all over your piercing needle . I️ know everyone wants to watch out for my health , which is why I️ took the advice and I️ removed the piercing since I️t was too thin . But guys I’m not gonna die . Like seriously .
