My bellybutton peircing has a big bump where it was originally peirced and the barbell it NEXT to the bump now. Very crooked. I am pretty sure its infected. What can I do about the bump and infection and is there any way I can get it back like straight?

Unfortunately, there is no way to correct migration (other than taking it out and letting it heal, and getting it re-pierced), and migration can also lead to rejection if you are not careful. To reduce this migration, use a larger gauge (such as a 12), because smaller gauge jewelry is more prone to migration in the navel area.

If the bump is being caused by infection, the only way to get rid of it is to treat the infection. I know you told me you already visited the doctor, try again with that doctor or get a second opinion.

In the meantime, put a warm compress on the piercing for 10 minutes twice a day. This should reduce the size of the bump (but not take it away entirely), reduce swelling and soothe it a little. If you are experiencing swelling, you can also take some Ibuprofen to reduce it.

I have my belly done, and its only been almost 2 weeks. My belly skin was thick and she had prblems gtin it through so when it heals, I needa get a bigger bar. Consider that?
