Well you need to wash the piercing daily, this is what has caused your infection in the first place. Poor aftercare will lead to infections with any piercing. All piercings even healed piercings need to be washed daily when showering to ensure good piercing health. Diluted unscented liquid antibacterial soap lathered up and applied to the piercing and worked into the piercing by moving the jewellery, follow this by rinsing the piercing under warm running water (in the shower) daily will resolve 90% of piercing related infections.

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.
