    What to do if your belly button piercing is infected?
    HELP! I have had my belly button pierced for a bit over a month, I cleaned it using H2o ocean spray because they told me to. Maybe I did overuse it.. I used it 2 times a day but I sprayed too much always. It is still not healed and seems to be starting to get a little bit infected, so I started using polysporin, the pharmasist told me to.. but it seems to be keeping it too moist and not really helping.I really do not want to take it out. When I was 14 I had it done and my body rejected it after 3 months. If I take it out this time the scarring is twice the size and very ugly, should I just leave it to dry out and heal on it's own? Or should I take it out... the barbell is always getting stuck.. so should I just let it heal that way and leave it be.. WHAT DO I DO?
