okay so i had my belly button ring for about 1 month and just recently, i've been getting little red dots around the belly button and it is super itchy. also, yellow crusties are always near my top hole. is this an infection..? oh and i just started using bactine. is it bactine that caused all this?

you definitely have an infection.

You need to put some neosporin or polysporin creme on that and definitely go see a doctor.

That's def an infection!

Have you been cleaning it?
You should be.

Yeah, you might want to go see the doctor about this one
before it gets worse....


=MOVED TO HEALTH=

yup i have been cleaning it like always. 2 times a day. it's just that the day after i put bactine spray on to my belly button for the first time, it started to get red dots. it's weird, but afteri started not using bactine spray, it got a whole lot better. i think im allergic to bactine spray or something

Maybe this'll help?

But you should probably see a doctor.

See a doctor ASAP, even if you think it's not that bad and you want to home treat it. Infections CAN and WILL get ugly.

^omg!>.<

EWW THOSE ARE THE NASTIEST PICTURES EVER lol.


but yea get it checked.

that picture is sick for two reasons...

any way alcohol is usually used to clean new piercings. check online for what your problem could be, there is probably an easy cure.

wow. those pictures up there looks like it hurts really bad. mine doesn't look like that at all..lol. now, it got waaaaaaay better. i went to the doctors and it wasn't infected. it was just some kind of allergy i got from bactine spray and now, im not using bactine spray and it got a whole lot better & it is completely healed. my belly is all better now =D YAY!! thanx for helping you guys
