Is it OK if I clean it with hydrogen peroxide ? I've been doing it for the past 6 days twice a day and it's just a little reddish with a little but of white clear stuff

Hydrogen Peroxide should be fine on it, how long ago was it pierced? If its new it could still be healing, if its an old piercing and you're having redness with discharge you may want to consult your physician as it could be infected.

Redness and puss (white stuff) indicates infection. New or old, infection isn't supposed to happen, and isn't normal. It needs to be treated properly, by a doctor.

No, hydrogen peroxide is not okay. Only used once to clean a wound if nothing else is,available.

Start irriigating the area with a salt water solution, a clean wipe every time. The hydrogen peroxide has caused the problem.

My step-dad is a professional piercer, He says to NEVER use hydrogen peroxide. No it isn't infected or showing signs of infection. Redness and puss is usual for a piercing, but using that solution any longer could make it infected. I hope you like your piercing :D

Piercings should be cleaned with antibacterial soap only.

Redness and puffiness are signs of infection, and for bellybutton piercings hydrogen peroxide is not the way to go. A sea salt and warm water solution will clean your bellybutton. Mix sea salt with warm water in a cup and then suction the cup to your bellybutton until it goes cold. Do this twice a day until your bellybutton heals (traditionally 6-8 months.) Along the way you can slowly go to one cleansing a day, then every other day. Do not remove or change your piercing until then. Don't play with it either this will worsen the infection. If you see any worse signs or the infection does not slightly clear up after a week of sea salt mix contact your piercer and your doctor.

Good advice. Gabrielle. Especially suctioning the glass to the piercing. That eliminates someone using the same swab or cloth twice, or thrice, transferring infection.
