First, check in with either your piercer or a doctor to be sure that it's infected. A lot of people misdiagnose an irritated piercing as infected. If it is infected, your doctor should prescribe an antibiotic to help clear up the infection. While its healing, keep cleaning it with a saline solution, and don't remove the jewelry or the infection could get trapped. If the swelling gets intense and the bar is too short, have a piercer switch it out with a longer sterilized bar. Good luck!

You have had your navel periced for over 7 years and it is infected if you take it out will it heal up?

If it's infected... DON'T TAKE IT OUT! If you take it out, it will only cause the infectious bacteria to stay in your body, and it won't get rid of it. Soak your piercing in a sea salt soak for five to ten minutes and clean it two to three times a day. Once the swelling/infection has passed, and you're not please with the piercing, you can take it out. But if it's infected, leave it in!
