This is becoming a serious issue with many dermal implant clients, action needs to be taken to avoid the infection becoming serious which if not treated quickly and effectively can become very difficult to treat. Because the dermal implant is intended to stay set under the skin and infection can build to the point of turning to an inward boundabscess requiring medical intervention and I.V. antibiotics. I have no way of knowing how bad the infection is, so all I can do is tell you to see your doctor as soon as possible. With the proper external treatment and oral antibiotics you may be able to keep the implant however 6 out of 10 infected implants lead to surgical removal to resolve the infection. Your piercer can not help you with the removal of the implant under state and provincial laws, that is practicing medicine without a license and is against the law everywhere. Go see your doctor as soon as possible.

∙ 9y agoI would dab them with Hydrogen Peroxide on a Q-tip, roll the Q-tip over the infection so you can "roll it away". Hydrogen Peroxide is totally safe, I use it all the time and, in my opinion, it is an easy way to tell when your infection is gone because it bubbles up anywhere you are infected.
Don't use Hydrogen Peroxide repeatedly. It has little to no affect on bacteria and can damage surrounding healthy tissue, it will (because of the release of oxygen bubbles) dislodge dirt and debris in wounds initially, but there's no need for repeat application. A much better method of cleaning is simple salt water - half a teaspoon of sea salt added to a cup of boiling water, allowed to cool to a warm temperature and applied to the piercing for a few minutes twice a day. Alternatively mild antibacterial soap and warm water will work just fine.

∙ 14y agoIf you are washing the piercing daily there would be no infection, daily aftercare is required for every piercing. Wash the piercing with diluted liquid antibacterial soap and plenty of warm water (do it in the shower). The infection will settle out and resolve it's self within 24 ~ 48 hours.

Can you get a belly button ring without getting your belly button pierced?
When you get your belly button pierced, the person doing it will generally, if not always, use a stainless steel belly button ring. At least they will if they're a professional, and if not you don't really need to get a piercing from them anyway.This will have to stay in until the piercing is properly healed and then you can put in a clear or plastic retainer, available in different colors.
Where to get your belly button pierced?
I would say a belly button piercing goes on your belly button. Some tattoo parlors will do it, but it's best to search places before deciding.
