Okay not to be rude but u don't know the answer PLEASE don't respond!!
because I really need reall fact stuff not bull... THANK YOU :)

I peirced my belly bullon like month ago ad its doing good I think.
I clean it twice a day everday with soap and worm water,then I dry it and
put (NEOSPORN) on it. But resently the top hole has been really sensitive to
things like when I had first got it done. Ex. Like to touch and my cloths...
the bottom hole it great though. I don't know if its acting like that because I had put
a new ring in it.. or what? Butt I put the old one back because I thought I was reacting bad to it! I've been reading some of other peoples page and I think its cause I put in a new ring to early. Buut I'm not the doc I don't know...

Ohh and its my first piercing! 1
and I got it done on may 9th.
I put in the new ring like may 30th.
is that too soon??
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP MEE AND FAST CAUSE IM KIND OF FREAKING OUT!!
my parents don't know and they would murder MEE!!

THANK YOU
KRAZIE =)

Well you see neosporin tries to close holes... like when you get a cut or something you put neosporin on it and what not to HEAL the wond. With a peircing you don't want to HEAL it you want it to remain open. So my advice to you is to use soap and water to clean nothing that will help to close the hole though. And to try to keep it rotated that way you keep it open real nice. It's not going to feel great. I got my nose done a while ago and my brother is a certified body piercer... Nothing to freak out about though... but remember when you are rotating the ring and moving it around that you have oil and bacteria on your hands which can cause an infection so make sure you wash your hands first.
Best wishes!

I know you don't want to hear this but how did you get your belly button pierced without your parents permission? You can't do that where I live.

Also, you could've asked the person doing the piercing when you could change the ring especially since you don't know. Makes sense?

It's the neosporin hon. Its trying to HEAL the hole.

Liz, lots of teens peirce at home with friends. That's how my best friend in high school got her lip pierced.

While I don't agree with it, to each their own I guess.


Krazi, if you did this yourself, or your friends did it, it may be infected. I would take it to a doctor.

Neosporin is not good. Use a sea slt mixture to clean it. What kind of metal is the jewelry? I strongly recommend surgical steel for the healing process. What gauge is your jewelry? What did you use to pierce it?

Okay but the guy that did it for told mee to use that that's y I do!
So stop usins it, or what?

The guy that did it for you is a moron :) sorry :)

Stop using it and listen to mugger :)

Ohhh and umm what the heck is sea salt??

You should really stop using the neosporin... it's what is more then likely doing it.. the metal can be an issue to..
The guy who did it really didn't know what he was doing that is pretty evident.
Just stick with the basics clean and mobile...

You should be fine if it persists see a doctor to be on the safe side.

Mugger, I think it is Surgical Steel!
I had a pic but it won't let mee put it on here!

He used a needle! (does that help? )

Since you don't know what Mugger is talking about maybe you should go to different piercing place so they can tell you want to do and show you what ring to use.

I agree go to a different shop. Have them check it out. Most places out here where I live only use surgical steel. But I don't know about where you are at.

Good Luck

I pierced my belly button about a month ago.
I use to use (Neosporin) on it but I was told not
to use it anymore to use some sea salt thing.
(which by the way I have no idea what that is)
welll anyway my holes r kind of ashy lk is peeling.
and it's a little puffy. I don't know if that normal or not?
and also the top hole kida hurts... its real sensitive lk
when I first got it... ex. To like cloths or touch.

can someone PLEASE help mee..
and explain to mee what is the
sea salt stuff and some places where I can find it. =D


Thank you
Krazie

Did you pierce it yourself? It could be infected because it doesn't sound like you've been properly caring for it. The sea salt solution is one of two things. When I got mine done, there was a saline spray that they gave me. But I was still supposed to soak it in salt water too. All it is is you mix sea salt into warm water ( I don't remember the proportions) and soak your belly button. You can buy sea salt at pretty much any grocery store.

NO I didn't do it myself...
I went to a pro...

You posted this already. You got all the info you need. Please don't ask again.

How do I properly clean it?
Cause before YESTERday
I used to clean it twice a day
Everyday wit NeoSporin...

Uhhh yea... STILL I LIL CONFUSED!!

Well you need to give it more time. Its not going to get better over night.

If you are really super worried about it, go to the doctor. We aren't going to be able to help you over the net more than we already have hon

Good luck

If you got it done by a pro and are still confused about how to properly care for it then you should have gone back to them and asked them to show you. Or, take jennie's advice and go to the dr.

Right?

Okay thanks.
I wanted to know if what I was doing
Was right, about taking care of it...

>Threads Merged<

Please don't repeatedly post the same thing, simply update this one.

I recommend around a teaspoon of sea salt to 8 ounces of warm water. Just soak it on the piercing. You should not move the jewelry unless you are cleaning it.

How can you not know what sea salt is?
I agree with everyone else
BUT also... if you wanted to get it done, you should have also taken the responsibility to take care of it too

Also!!
If you took the ring out in that short amount of time its your own fault, the piercer tells you when to take it out and he would have recommended the length of time. 21 days... Nuh uh!

Some people take longer to heal then others I have had a peircing for a year now and a couple months ago was the first time it actually stopped being sensitive... I know the reason why it was so sensitive for so long was because I switched my ring out a month in a half after I got it done... that could possibly be the problem with yours as well. I hear switching out the rings so soon could cause infections and irritations...

Yes it can. Especially with porous jewelry like acrylics. Retainers are plastic and should never be used during the healing process. Surgical steel is the way to go.

Krazi, if this continues to be an issue after giving it another week, I would take the peircing out and go to the doctor to have it checked. You may need to close the hole up and try again later once it heals closed

Hi honey I am not sure if the problem is already taken care of but I do want to help. I got my navel pierced like a month and a half ago and the first few days were just carzy it was really tender. When I first got it pierced at the tattoo shop I got a saline spray rinse for ten dollars there at the place I did the piercing. The lady told me to use it three times a day and try to keep ma hands a way from the piercing as much as possible. So I cleaned it and sprayed it three times a day as she said and my belly is healed/ The name of the spray is blue wave saline spray. I also think that you probably put a new ring in there too quick and most times you have to wiat until you press your navel and it doesn't hurt a bit, then that's the time you know that it is fully healed and when it is not tender anymore. I hope this helped
