Belly button piercing , please help? 2 months passed , and now bleeding and keloid?

i got a belly ring on june 15 (no blood, no pain, nothing), and on august 8th or something i changed the ring and put on a gold barbell and 3 days later i changed it and put on a surgical steel barbell and then i started to notice crusting and a clear sticky liquid but i didnt pay attention to it that much but a few days ago i noticed that theres dry blood around the piercing all the time (i clean it, and theres always more blood) and a keloid looking thing at the bottom of the piercing where the blood is! im scared and not sure what to do. should i bacitracin on it, should i keep cleaning it with dial antibacterial soap, should i change my piercing to the gold one? what should i do about the bleeding and pus (im not sure if i have an infection, but just recently it started to itch and i thought that was healing), and if i do have a keloid how do i get rid of it?

Reply:use tcp it will kill the infectin that you have and yes CHANGE TO GOLD IMMEDIATELY and dont chnage for a year or so until your used to piercing
Reply:I have had mine 4 6 years and it took a good 6 months b4 I could change it. and a good year 4 it 2 totally heal. Definately continue with dial soap and bacitracin 2. It will heal in good time
Reply:Well, if you got it done in a proper piercing studio. They would've instructed youo that if there's a problem to go see them about, as minor as you may think the problem is.





I've had that woith a few of my piercings, and my advice is to add some boiling water to salt (to form a saline solution) and rub it on it with a cotton bud or cotton wool once in the morning and once in the evening!
Reply:Just keep cleaning it..clean it often...it probably is like that because of your clohting rubbing on it, or when you sleep it just irritates it a little bit. Just CLEAN IT and you'll be fine.
Reply:omg your not suppose to change it until its fully healed which can take up to a year. Keep washing it and try salt water soaks,they help the healing go faster. And don't change it again!! don't play with it either
Reply:1st- you should have kept the gold one in for a while.


2nd- Call the piercer. Explain it to them. If they don't help you go up there.


3rd- No matter what they say see a doctor.





PS: You should have let the piercer change it for you.
Reply:ask the person who did it for you, they always have stuff incase something like this happens
Reply:You shouldn't have changed your jewelery at all! A navel piercing take up to a year to completely heal since it's in a area of the body that moves around a lot and it's prone to infection. Your piercist should've given you a sheet of instructions on cleaning this and what to expect.





I suggest you put the original curved barbell that you got it pierced with and use a soloution of sea salt with warm water soak on the affected area. You want to mix it it to the consitency of tears and soak it for about 20 up to 2 times a day...DO NOT PUT BACITRACIN ON IT!!! That's an ointment and it's only gonna trap the some of the bacteria inside the piercng and make matters worse.





You may also want to check in with a doctor. Don't put the gold one back in.....if you ordered it form the internet or got it for wicked cheap chances are that it's not real gold or it's gold plated.
