My belly piercing took 6 months to completely heal! I just tried to keep it clean with sea salts.

AH! i can't remember the name of this crap but if you go to a drug store they should be able to find it. It's a disinfectant and it's thick syurpy orange crap. It stains your skin but man it works. I don't have any left to tell you the name!

LOL - omg, me too.

I would keep it up with the sea salt. My piercer said to use Bactine, but not Neosporin.

I can never get my piercings to heal.. I went through so much trouble just for my ear lobe and pierced my cartilage like 10 times, all got infected and started bleeding out of nowhere. Had some trouble with my tongue ring too..

I had one get infected pretty badly. At first, it was just irritated and hurt, then a bump started to form under the skin. Sea Salt is what felt the best, but imo it will only work up to a point healing wise.

If there is an actual infection and not just an irritation, go to your dr - a few days of antibiotics did the trick for me. It felt better by the end of the night, actually.

When I got piercings, I was told to use bactine and contact/saline solution and I found both to be effective. I hope your piercing heals soon because an infection isn't fun

I was 17 when I got my belly button pierced and was all hysterical when it got infected (all crusty and itchy around it)... even thinking I got HIV, thanks to the comforting efforts of my friends. I just went to the doc and she gave me bactine and antibiotics.

see, you had the word 'pussy' in your post. That was the only indication we had for location

glad your belly button is better

My cousin used to be a piercing artist. He said that you should clean it with sea salt and water. He did 2 of my piercings ( industral and eyebrow) and he never told me to put neosporin on them.

my friend had the wart thing too, and it was huge, she had to get surgery. sad =/ it was on her carlage.

but yeahh i used batine when my belly piercing was reallyyy infected and i was amazed how after that, it went back to normal like nothing ever happened.

i had my eyebrown a year ago, for a month. it got infected so i took it out and the skin was thinning. but i reallyyy like it so i pierced it again, and its once again infected but i really dont want to take it out. so im just sticking to it and cleaning it alot. hopefulllyyy itll heal soon.

for those people who were looking for that red/orange stuff that starts with the letter H, the only thing i can think of it HEBICLENS, but not sure if that is it, come in a light blue bottle.

sea salt as mentioned above is good, when i used to have my eye brow, they said try antibacterical soap, but it was a certain kinda i cant remember, my ex-gf used it on her infected belly button.
