I have had my belly button pierced for almost two years now with no problems, but I have seen several of my friends belly button piercing's become infected and grow sores or bumps around or near the infected area. First, let me warn you- DO NOT POP THIS SORE OR BUBBLE! It will bleed and only cause it to grow larger. Second, the best thing you can do is go back to the piercer. Have them check it out and give you their advice. Perhaps you are not cleaning it often enough, or not cleaning it with the right tools. So to answer your question specifically, sores and bumps could clear up anywhere from two weeks to over a year, depending on how you handle the situation. Please be wise about this and seek out professional help!

Belly button piercing?

A belly button piercing,or naval piercing,is basically a piercing on the belly button. It can take about 4 to 6 months to heal after getting pierced. The legal age to get one depends on what state you live in. Most naval piercings are done in tattoo parlors or places that specialize in body piercings.

How long do you have to wait to play clarinet after piercing your lip?

It depends on what kind of lip piercing you're talking about. For a labret piercing, it'd seriously affect the reed and make it impossible to play. Plus it'd hurt like hell. For a piercing on the side (snake bites, spider bites, a ring on the side) it would probably affect your embouchure, but it would likely still be possible to play.


How can the tongue infection go away?

Pain, swelling, bad odour, discharge of blood and puss from the piercing, sore throat, fever, chills. This means you are in serious shape and medical attention is required without delay. Infected tongue piercing can go septic and require medical attention and antibiotics to treat.


Should an industrial piercing hurt to the point of tears 3 days after piercing if one has a high pain tolerance?

I got an industrial about 3 months ago. It was sore afterwards, I didn't want to touch it... but it wasn't THAT painful. It took about 3 weeks to heal, so i suggest that if it is still hurting and very painful still, go back to your piercer and ask them whats up. You can always call them before that to ask any questions, piercers are there to help. An Industrial is going to hurt quite a bit after its pierced, it will throb and ache for quite some time, but if its reducing you to tears that can indicate that perhaps it was incorrectly placed or infection. Either ring up your Piercer, or get a doctor to have a look at it.

Why doesn't your belly piercing go in?

One of two reasons. One, either the jewelry that you are trying to put in is a bigger gauge than the jewelry that it was originally done in, or the hole is closed either slightly to all the way, and you will not be able to get it back in without either shoehorning it in with a taper or waiting for it to heal, and then get it repierced.


What should you put on a belly piercing if sore and red?

If it's sore and red, you can take ibuprofen to reduce the swelling. But you should always use sea salt soaks (8oz of warm water and about 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of salt) and soak your piercing to reduce the chances of infection.
