I just had my belly pierced like 4 days ago.
It was fine but then on the end of the 2nd day, i noticed the inside of my belly button kind of becoming swollen and itchy. I htought maybe i was allergic to the jewelry so I changed it.
I don't see how this would be the problem thought because this is the 2nd time I've gotten my belly pierced and I never had any "allergy" related symptoms with the metal, and i've used surgical stel metal efore.
today when i woke up the other side of my belly button was itchy and swollen too...
Idk what to do? I know its not an infection but I don't nderstand..
I'm using bactine and H2Ocean
I'm also using a little bit of Vitamin E oil.
The pharmacist told me to get benadryl anti-itch cream so i've been putting that inside my bely button..
Idk what I should do or expect????

Sh*t. For starters, you certainly should not be cleansing it with cleansing soap. all the stuff it is in cleansing soap irritates piercings and is undesirable for them. You wanna sparkling it with salt and heat water two times on a daily basis. you need to no longer substitute your bar until eventually six weeks onwards (inspite of the shown fact that it in many circumstances takes longer than that to heal, six weeks is the place it is much less probably to get annoyed and yuck once you regulate it). additionally, they shouldn't pierce it with a hoop by way of circulate that could carry approximately inflammation, it may well be pierced with a bar. It does not sound contaminated inspite of the shown fact that it does sound like it is slightly annoyed, so regrettably all you're able to do is the salt cleanses, two times on a daily basis and watch for the inflammation to bypass. yet what color is the pus? If it is yellow then it does sound contaminated yet you will ought to bypass to a piercer for them to substantiate and that they supply you training on what to do from there. do no longer take the bar (or ring, regardless of is presently in there, out, until eventually the piercer tells you what to do) and don't bypass to a doctor by way of fact they'll only inform you to take it out and supply you antibiotics by way of fact they do no longer understand something approximately piercings. And an odour is carefully established, all piercings have odours that could selection from a mushy smell to a very yuck one inspite of the shown fact that it is thoroughly established so no concerns there. additionally,once you bypass to the piercer, do no longer bypass lower back to the only the place you get carry of it pierced by way of fact she needless to say does not understand what she's speaking approximately.
