    Is my belly button infected
    I got my belly button pierced last year in October everything was going fine I was cleaning it regularly but now I changed it and it hurts when I touch what are the chances of it being infected. What should I do before it gets worse if it is infected

    You might be having a reaction to the thing you have changed it to take it out and clean the old one and put it back in

    I have also had a bad belly button infection when I pierced my belly!

    First thing I would do is remove your belly ring...
    Put it in hot water with salt, and maybe wise to visit your doctor to get some anticepted cream :)

    You could be having a reaction to the metal that you replaced your original ring with. I can only wear certain types of metal and if I put anything else in I get sore. Go back to the original ring and use peroxide and see if that helps.:)
