    Yes. Go see your doctor, or take it out, clean it up, and let it heal. You may not be keeping that area clean enough, or you may be allergic to the material used, etc.

    Belly buttons, especially innies, are germ catchers and should be washed out when showering. This is why you have to be doubly clean when it is pierced. Just keep soiled hands away from it, wash hands always before cleaning the area. 3% peroxide mixed with a small amount of water washed over the area may help.
