Ok I got my belly pierced and when I clean it and every thing it still feels like there is soap in it or the salt water but I rinsh it really good so I don't no and I'm getting kind a scared I only hade it picered 4 days.I think it is healing really good though how long should I clean it for?I clean it 2-4 a day.

My sister had her belly pierced and they said to use a disinfectant. That disinfectant they gave her is the same stuff as contact cleaner, so if you have contacts use the bottle of cleaner for your belly and then you shouldn't feel so soapy. As for how long you clean it, the person who gave it to you, usually schedules a mandatory check up and tells you how long and how many times to clean it. Check the paper he/she gave you or ask the parent that went along for the paper...

Okk thanks.it hurts som times why though.

I think my belly button is infected? Because there is a big bump under the barbell and when I clean it pus comes out and it hurts how can I make it go away.And on the bump there is blood and stuff how can I stop this

OK.. dont worry because my sister got her done and it was alll red and stuff it takes a while for it to heal... so just clean it 2 or 3 times a day and don't play with it and it will be okay

I had it done for a about 3 moths now

All I did when I had mine done was clean it with clean warm water and a cotton bud, also when you get out of the bath or shower dry your belly button well to stop infection you can do this with a dry cotton bud aswel.. hope that helps

Mine took about 6 mnths to heal. Use sea salt(dilute it with water). Soak it in the diluted sea salt for about 5-10 minutes a day. Use a Q-tip to dry around it... there is also a cream you can get... local shops where you get piercings at should have it... if there is puss that is not ness. A bad thing... mine had puss too. Just squeeze it out... as much as you can. Clean it daily.

Over cleaning can be bad. And too harsh cleaning can be bad. It is advised to clean 2 times a day max and with sea salt water solution not harsh ones. You are also not supposed to take a Bath and have showers instead for the first few weeks.
