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.

You are supposed to put salt water on it. Either put it on a cotton ball then on your belly piercing for 8 minutes or you can put the salt water in a shot glass and put it on it for 8 minutes.

Does gettting in a hottub hurt a new belly button piercing?

getting in a hot tub would not hurt a new belly button piercing, but your not supposed to. you should wait at least 6weeks after you got the piercing to sit in water. (I know this because i have ma belly button pierced. i have it pierced all around =)..) Anyway, i suggest you put a water proof band-aid over it or tape or something to cover it up b4 you get in the hot tub.


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.


Does a belly button piercing hurt more then a lip piercing?

I have both my lip and belly button pierced. I had my belly button pierced with a hoop and my lip pierced with a bar/stud. The belly button was more irritating then the lip because a hoop piercing requires the piercer to clamp it shut and fiddle around with a new pierced part instead of just screwing a ball on. I recommend any new piercings to be with a bar/stud as it is quicker and less irritating. Put it this way, I'm going for a 2nd lip piercing and not another belly button piercing ;)


What can you put on new belly piercing while sleeping?

I had my belly pierced last year and it can realy hurt when you have catched it, espesualy a fresh piercing, basicly what i did was fold up some tissue paper make sure that it is big enough to cover your belly button. Then you will need a roll of plasters, you can get this from any chemist. you then stick the tissue paper over the belly piercing and stick it on with the tape. Hope this works xx
