First off, I'd recommend NOT repiercing it, as there are many body piercings that are in very germ-laden spots. However, if you're absolutely bent on doing so, wait until the infection has cleared up entirely and the area is healed. I always got told that if it gets infected not to take it out because the infection can get trapped underneath the skin. You should have left it in and went to the drs to get antibiotics to clear it up. A lot of times infection can be cleared up with a one week antibiotic regimen, however, to avoid adding a problem onto an existing problem, wait 2-3 months after you have finished your antibiotics before you get it re-pierced.

What to do if you have a dark circle around your nostril piercing?
I would say its getting infected. I had a nostril piercing and it gets infected, get a wet towel but it has to be hot and put it on there almost every day ........trust me it works The chances are good that the nostril screw in your piercing is made of Silver and not Surgical Stainless Steel. Silver oxidizes and this tarnishing will actually darken the tissue around the piercing. Changing the jewellery to proper surgical stainless steel body jewellery will resolve the tarnishing issue. Over time with daily washing the darkness around the piercing will wear off and you should be fine.

Can pregnant women get their lip pierced at 5 months?
well considering the fact that your mouth has nothing to do with your baby growing in you i don't see why not. you would just have to make sure it don't get infected because that could possibly well obviously hurt the baby because if it gets infected enough it could infect the blood which could be BAD. Real professional body piercing studios will not pierce anyone who is pregnant. Anyone who will knowingly provide piercing services to someone who is pregnant is not a professional body piercer.
During the healing process of your navel piercing can you lay out in the sun?
It is recommended that you wait at least a few weeks but you can. Indoor tanning you would have to wait longer. Just be careful is you are putting SPF or lotion on. If it gets into the piercing it could get infected and that is VERY painful.

Does a ear piercing effetion go away?
It should eventually. It takes from a few weeks, to a few months, for a piercing to fully heal. If your piercing isn't healing properly, or begins to ooze or bleed, you may need to to remove the piercing all together, let it heal, and then possibly try again. Once a piercing gets infected, there isn't much you can do besides take advil, wait it out, or remove it all together.
