    Then go to a clinic, but it sounds like its infected.

    You have money for a belly piercing, but no money for doctors? I think you need to readjust your priorities.

    So you went behind your parent's back to get one, maybe illegally? And you think you have priorities straight?

    Did you get it from a licensed parlor?

    You mean your parents wouldn't mind, but you waited until they were away to do it? And the person who performed it wasn't licensed? So you risked your health to get a piercing from an unlicensed practitioner?

    How old are you? Where are your parents now?

    Yes I do know how to help. I told you to see a doctor. If your mom is in the military (indicated by her being deployed) then you have medical coverage so go see a doctor.

    Your age matters since, in many areas, it is illegal to do body piercings on a minor without parental consent.

    Frankly I think you are lying to us. I think you illegally gor a piercing and are afraid to tell your parents which is why you don't want to go to a doctor. So don't go to one, let the infection spread to where you could have even more serious medical problems.

    If your mom is deployed it may be months before she can take you. You can't wait.
