Take the jewellery out of the piercing and call it a day. The piercing will continue to migrate and will eventually drop the piercing altogether. Removing the jewellery now will allow your body to maintain the tissue and prevent the formation of scar tissue. After a few weeks you could go and talk to your local professional body piercing about having the piercing redone deeper behind the migrating piercing.

How long can you leave a belly button piercing out before it closes?
It depends on how old the piercing is. If it's over a year old, then you can go a couple of days. If it's under a year old, then a couple of hours. The newer the piercing is, the less time you have with it removed before it starts becoming difficult to put it back in. If it closes, then go in to see your local professional body piercer for some help.

Can a belly button ring get infected?
Belly button rings can cause infection very easily if not cleaned at least once a day. The best way to prevent an infection is to clean it with antibacterial soap, such as Dial, once or twice a day. Applying alcohol or peroxide can dry the skin out and help with infection, so do not use those. Do not use lotions around the belly button as this can cause a moist environment for bacteria to set in and cause infection. The last thing able to prevent an infection is to not touch the piercing until the belly button is healed. Bothering it before then can easily move germs back and forth between the ring and wound, so leave it to set before taking it out.

Can you take out a new belly button piercing?
You can, of course. But it's usually better to let it heal around the ring first and then take it off so the scarring isn't as bad. If you want help with it, go back to the piercer or the doctor for personal specific advice.

What do you do if your belly button piercing is infected?
Didn't they tell you at the place where you got your piercing ? SEE A DOCTOR. Generally seeing a doctor should not be the first step when dealing with an infected piercing. If your piercing is hot to the touch, swollen, oozing, seeping, or otherwise distasteful it may be infected. Leave the jewellery in as it allows fluid to drain and prevents the formation of an abscess. Clean your piercing twice daily (not including showering) with your chosen method of piercing care - an excellent method is to use a sea salt soak - add half a teaspoon of sea salt to a cup of boiling water and allow it to cool to warm, apply this to your piercing for a few minutes twice a day. Apart from that try to touch it as little as possible and always wash your hands before touching it. If this does nothing to help after a few days or your piercing starts to look in any way truly alarming then yes, please see a doctor.
