    Is my belly ring infected
    It's a little over a month old and the top hole is red and the bottom is a little Red. It is super crusty and hurts to move up and down during cleaning. I use dial soap and q-tips and a providine iodine and rinse with water. The pus is white and kind of gray looking. Idk if it's infected or if my body is rejecting the peircing!!

    The worst think you can use isdial soap to clean a 'wound', and absolutely no iodine. Use only sea salt dissolved in warm water and always use a clean applicator to do it. Yes its infected, start over cleaning it properly.
