Belly button piercing infection!!!! D: PLEASE! HELP!?
I would wash it gently with Hibiclens. It's an antiseptic cleanser. You can get it at the drug store although i'm not sure how much it is. Alcohol will disinfect it but it won't promote healing. Peroxide can be used but only once a day. Neosporin isn't recommended because it's petroleum based and will clog the piercing hole which keeps it from draining. Use a water based version, like a cream. Also, do not touch it with unwashed hands and DO NOT take the piercing out! If you remove the ring before the infection is gone it may close up and it will not have a way to drain. This could cause an abscess. And of course, if it doesn't seem better in 1-2 days, call your doctor.
