Sounds to me like you had an infection in your belly button (this could have been caused by anything) you have scratched it, maybe at first in your sleep &/or while cleaning your belly button & this has led to the infection spreading.

If this were most other places you could probably treat it with antiseptic cream or fluid & by keeping it really clean & dry. But the belly button is one of those places that we can't see, can't be sure it's dry (you do sweat there too) can't be sure no fluff is there (& if you check too often or scratch anywhere while checking you could make the infection worse & it will spread even more) so I suggest you see a dr & get the right cream - by now it & you may need anti-biotics.

Of course I could be overreacting but I can't see it & actually you can't see the centre of the problem either.

Thanks for your reply. I have since been to the doctors who has given me some cream. Feeling a lot better. Happy new year

Glad to hear you saw the dr, hope it all clears up fast, happy new year.

A few days ago I noticed that on the bottem part of my belly button the skin was transparent and you could see red but I thought nothing of it then it broke open and theres all this skin out and it's growing up my barbell I really don't want to take it out or tell my mom because she didn't think that I was responsible enough to have it pierced in the first place what should I do?

agreed... Good reply.

After looking at several websites I found out that the bump on the bottem of my navel piercing is a hypertrophic scar, although I looked at many sites i've yet to find out how to treat it, any advice?

I'd suggest you see a dr

It could be an allergic reaction to nickel -- either in the barbell piercings or in the snap on jeans.

I would buy only high quality (no nickel) stuff...

Genieangel is right. Nickel allergy is becoming more and more common. If it's right where your belt or your jean buttom hits your skin it's possible it is a nickel allergy.

You can lay down with water and sea salt in a shot glass!! it will burn,but make it feel better!!
