Ha, I got a tattoo on my inner lip saying: 'pierce here' only because I was going to get my lip pierced. I couldn't get it pierced for a few weeks all because of that. Plus, I woke up with a sore lip and I had no idea why. I didn't figure it out for a while

Whoops!\nThat is going to irritate and fester a swelling. It'll be stuck and you will need to have a c-section and give birth to it.\nGood luck!

You should take them out now because your boobs are gonna get huge. Im 24 weeks pregnant. your nipples might start to push out the rings and they can get infected. I still have my bellybutton ring in tho. LOL

I have has mine done twice, because it got infected. The clamps do hurt when they are prepping you for the piercing. The piercing did not for me. The healing can also be painful. Keep it clean if you get it, and use a mixture of 1/2 mouthwash, 1/2 water to rinse after you eat, drink or smoke if you do. Also if you have any metal allergies, like to nickel, I reccommend that you do NOT get pierced. It is a bigger pain then it is worth. Literally. Also get silver or gold jewelry or plastic if you do have metal allergies. Don't go cheap because it will get infected and infections in your head are very serious. Now for the 2nd part of your question, should you get it done? That is a very personal question, it will affect how people look at you and what types of jobs you can get. Hope that helps.

I a so glad you asked that.  My dad always has the same problem and he just says that it's his lint trap.  I've always wondered what causes it but I'm pretty sure it has somethign to do with the hair around your belly button just kinda grabs the little peices of lint throughout the day and gathers it their, So I guess it kinda is your own little personal lint trap.  I wonder how much would build up in their if you didn't take a shower for a few days??  EEeeeewwww. . . that is so nasty.  Well, hope that was the answer you needed!!

LOL I had the same problem! \n\nHere's the deal, it'll go away on it's own with good jewelry and cleaning. The tea tree oil may or may not help.

You might want to go to a local piercing place and ask someone there...they aren't the ones who did it but they aren't going to charge you or anything if you quick show it to them while looking for a different gauge bar. Seriously those people see all kinds of gross piercings gone wrong and your problem is probably very common.\nIs it red and infected or just itchy and dry?\nMaybe try some aloe...preferably straight from the plant if you have it handy untill you can actually show it to someone.

you should consult a surgeon , this may be normal or may indicate a serious problem

Most of the time it won't close if the piercing was that large.  Scar tissue will form on the edges and a small hole will remain.

Leave the ring out and go see the doctor.  Yes, the hole will heal closed and it really needs to.  You need to be sure that the infection has not spread any further than the skin and that it is going away.  No need to be embarassed, you won't be the first to have a belly button piercing gone bad and won't be the last.  I won't give you the whole lecture, although you might prepare yourself because the doctor likely will.  It's a danger of getting the piercing, and you were one of the unlucky ones.  It happens.\n  After it all heals, you can decide for yourself if you want to have it redone.  I wouldn't recommend it, since there will be scar tissue in the area and that will make it harder to do. Plus if you are really sensitive to the metals in the ring, it will happen again.   If you do decide to try anyway, be sure you find a reputable piercing shop to do it and have it done in very clean conditions.  The abdomen is not a good place to have an infection get started.\n  You did right to remove the ring and treat it with the antibiotic ointment  Now go see the doctor and get a professional opinion about what the next step should be.

This happened to me but I got mine back in within the hour. Go to the place you got it pierced and have them look at it or try to put it back in they might even not charge you to re-pierce it if that is what it needs. Good Luck

Filthyness? If you washed your bellybutton, there's no reason for stuff to ooze out of it. You're supposed to keep it clean!\n\nIf stuff is coming out of it, you might have an infection...so get it checked out.

It's normal. I have the same problem. Plus the cartilage isn't a normal place to get pierced-I just clean mine with alcohol, and the earrings with alcohol.

as a body piercer, I can tell you that it wont heal fast, because you pierced it yourself.Sewing needles are made of bad quality metals that usuially cause more irritation to the piercing.\nOnce the swelling goes down it wont rub on your gums as much.\nBut I dont quite understand what you did. Please answer some of the following questions, and I'll change my answer to help you out more.\n1) What type of jewlery do you have in now? What gauge and size is it? Is it a hoop? labet post? earring stud? What material or typer of metal is it made out of?\n2)did you clean anything before you pierced it?\n3)How have you been cleaning it?

I have several things pierced. They include my left nipple, left ear (normal), left eyebrow, labret, and navel. I got all these many years ago though, so I hardly wear pieces in them now.

Believe me, your parents WILL find out, they just do. Why don't you try to come up with some reasons WHY they should allow you to have it done? I can understand why they wouldn't have wanted you to get it at 13, but you're a little older now, hopefully a little more mature, you're responsible enough to drive a car (I'm assuming, anyway), so maybe now is the time. \n\nI don't think you should run the risk of not telling your parents. First of all, like I said, parents just have a way of finding out, and you will lose A LOT of their trust and confidence in you for going behind their backs. Second of all, with any piercing, especially in a place like the belly, you need to be carefull of infection. What are you going to do if you get a roaring infection? You would have to tell them because you'd have to get it treated.\n\nYou ought to think about whether a belly piercing is really worth losing your parents' confidence in you... talk to them first! Maybe if you pay for it, if you let your mom go with you to have it done, some kind of compromise. Your parents sound like decent folks who want to take care of you... talk to them first!  And good luck!
