DO NOT REMOVE IT!! The infection will spread if you take it out. It is possible for the infection to go away or be treated and you get to keep the piercing. Call the person/business who pierced it and ask them for the next step. They may want you to come in so they can look at it and treat it, or they can tell you how to treat it over the phone, but just be sure to leabe the piercing alone (DONT REMOVE IT)

∙ 15y agoTaking the jewellery out of an infected navel piercing is not going to help matters as a matter of fact it will make the situation worse. The infection will become trapped without an exit point (and area to drain from) and can actually become an abscess (much worse than just and infection). Washing the piercing under warm running water in the shower and rotating the jewellery while doing so will allow the material (nice word for puss) to drain, this done twice a day for a few days should make a marked improvement in the piercing. Stop using any other cleaners, salts, sprays or lotions you have been given, just plain warm water only should make a big change in the piercing in 24 to 48 hours. If the infection gets worse (that is if it is and infection and not something else) see your doctor without delay.
