I got the sides of my navel peirced a month ago. I got them peirced with barbells because that's how I got my lower navel ring done. A week later, they were very sore and red. I took the barbells out, and it seems as if the skin was pressed against the barbells to hard, because where the barbells laid, there were white open wounds on my skin. They've been healing all month. I put regular rings in them. But the skin around the holes is still red and pusy. Also, it looks like it might be scar tissue around the ring holes. I don't want to take them out, for fear of having scars there. Are they going to be ok? Egh, I hate this.
hmm wel i dont really know MUCh about this..i mean i just have my just one belly button peircing. but, mine was red and pusy for awhile.....and i think the redness IS a scar..cuz mine is still kind of a scar, you know? but i mean scars fade away. p.s - use bactine! it works miracles i tell u! get the spray-bottle kind! and GOODLUCK and i hope sum1 else can help u more! p.s i LOVE yer sig..its so funny with the cat1! thats it im gonna give u some rep for that haha! and i barely give people reps.
well thanks! it is healing faster now..I just started cleaning it with dial soap every few hours and it's coming along alot better. so i'm happy. i'll post some pics when it's all the way healed.
