Naval Piercing Working Itself Out? Posted: 11-02-07 02:23am
i've had a naval piercing for a little
more than 2 years. About 4 months ago, it
developed an infection on the skin between
the piercing. It was sometimes painful and
crusty, but I kept it clean. Now, there
seems to be no infection but there is
still a red area. I went to the doctor and
she gave me staph infection antibiotics to
try and it didn't help. Lately, the skin
between the piercing seems pretty thin and
there's even a tiny pin-sized hole in the
middle of it! I dont want to just give up
on the piercing, but I dont want it to
work itself out or have a red circle
there! What would you suggest? Thank you!

I would suggest going back to the person
who pierced you and asking them!!

Take it out! This happened to me when i
was pregnany, the hole will get bigger and
eventually split tottaly. if you take it
out now and let it heal then you stand a
good chance of getting in re-pierced in
the future
