Well with a proper aftercare routine your navel piercing should not become infected. Aftercare is the most important and the easiest part of any piercing, following simple cleaning instructions and being aware of what you are doing around you new piercing to prevent contamination and possible infection. Professional Body Piercers will provide you with written instructions and discuss how to clean and look after your piercing properly. 9 out of 10 times problems that occur with piercings are user created problems and not directly related to the piercing but more over to the lack of patients on the part of the piercing client. I wish this wasn't true but unfortunately it is a very common fact people try to fix things them selves and this always leads to causing more issues than it solves. If you think you have a problem with your piercing please contact your piercer, have he or she look at it and they will help you fix the problem, if you cant get in to see them due to business hours or holidays then just clean the piercing and wait till you can get in to see them.
