i got my belly button pierced and it has been infected since march. just red and sore and oozing. ik its been a LONG time. But I went to a doctor and they looked at me like I was crazy! i have tried to use antibacterial soap. I have not been able to recover from this infection & I have also had an upper respiratory infection for 2 weeks and not been able to heal. i have a dr appointment tomorrow. :( I'm really nervous and scared. Pics below.

doesnt really look infected here.

also sorry I have PCOS so my tum is quite hairy.

theres some crusties around it in my belly button which I just removed with a q-tip and water. Lots of yellow stuff comes out of it. i got it pierced in march. Also i took it out last night to clean it and when i put it back in, blood gushed out and ever since then I have been having awful pain in my abdomen and diarhhea. POSTED IN GENERAL TTC BECAUSE I CANT FIND A GROUP ABOUT THIS STUFF.
