    Infected belly piercing!
    I am 18 years old and I have had my belly button pierced for almost a year. This summer I noticed my bellybutton getting to be kind of infected so I cleaned it with salt water like people say and stupidly didn't pay attention to it. Well now it is turned from going straight up and down to being crooked and has a bump on the bottom of it where the ring comes out. Occasionally is pusses also. I have no idea what to do. PLEASE HELP!!

    Clean it with soap and warm water a few times a day. Keep it as clean as you can. See if this helps. You may have to put some antibiotic ointment on it, such as neosporin.
