I got my belly pierced about a week and a half ago.there is no pain but there is some redness around the top hole and then it looks like my skin is peeling,there is some crust that comes whenit dries up after I clean it .and I have been cleaning it when I get in the shower when I get home from school and before I go to bed with dial (gold) antibacterial soap because that what the care instructions said to do.I don't have any sea salt to soak it with though nor do I have any bactine spray.is this normal or should I go back to the piercer?ireally need to know ifihavean infection...

Your answers will be great help,thank you

You surely have table salt to dissolve in warm water, and dab on from time to time. I doubt the use of dial soap even if it is antibacterial. It would be too drying, therefore the peeling and crust.
