I have had the piercing for two months. I'm not sure if it is infected because it doesn't hurt but looks bad. I tried to see if I could pop the bubble but my piercing started to bleed so I stopped. I really don't want to take it out and can't go back to the person who pierced it.
Is is infected and if it is how do I get rid of the infection?My belly button piercing has a bubble around the bottom hole?
Hey I had the same problem. It either a keloid or scarring. Leave it alone. It will go away eventually. I am prone to keloids, and all my piercings have had them. I have also had all my piercings infected. DO NOT TAKE IT OUT. If it is infected, the ring will allow it to drain.When mine was infected really badly it pussed and would thump if I even bumped it or layed on my stomach. Also make sure if you are using the "banana" or "curved" barbells in it, make sure they are the right length for the depth of your piercing. A navel piercing has a high tendency to reject like other "surface" piercings. My friend had hers done the same day and it rejected due to the jewelry she put it in and stretch marks from her having 2 children. Mine took from October 2007 until June 2008 to stop pusing, and for my bumps to go away. My traugs took 1 year from the bumps to go away. Try using something called H2Ocean on it. It works wonders for me. Just spray it on the piercing a few times a day or soak the piercing with it sprayed on a cotton ball. If you cant get H2Ocean use Sea Salt ( not table salt) mixed with warm water. It will do the same thing. And are you using a type of cheap metal in you jewelry. I can wear surgical steel, but if I use belly button rings from Hot Topic or those jewelry pagodas my bump comes back. Don't give up on it and don't take it out unless you check with your piercer. And find a piece of jewelry ( preferably not one of those overly-decorative ones I used a longer curved/banana barbell that only had 2 gems on it) and just use the H2Ocean or warm sea salt water, and dont try and pop any bubbles. Trust me the fight is worth it. I have fought with all my piercings ( my monroe, 12-00g. earrings, belly button, now retired snake bites...) I'm getting my eyebrow done an I know it will get infected but its worth the battle. My belly button piercing has a bubble around the bottom hole?
Is there another piercer nearby that can take a look at it? A keloid is common, but firm rather than filled with fluid. If it is a keloid, dabbing it with tea-tree oil will clear it up in no time.
