This is becoming a serious issue with many dermal implant clients, action needs to be taken to avoid the infection becoming serious which if not treated quickly and effectively can become very difficult to treat. Because the dermal implant is intended to stay set under the skin and infection can build to the point of turning to an inward boundabscess requiring medical intervention and I.V. antibiotics. I have no way of knowing how bad the infection is, so all I can do is tell you to see your doctor as soon as possible. With the proper external treatment and oral antibiotics you may be able to keep the implant however 6 out of 10 infected implants lead to surgical removal to resolve the infection. Your piercer can not help you with the removal of the implant under state and provincial laws, that is practicing medicine without a license and is against the law everywhere. Go see your doctor as soon as possible.
I would dab them with Hydrogen Peroxide on a Q-tip, roll the Q-tip over the infection so you can "roll it away". Hydrogen Peroxide is totally safe, I use it all the time and, in my opinion, it is an easy way to tell when your infection is gone because it bubbles up anywhere you are infected.
Don't use Hydrogen Peroxide repeatedly. It has little to no affect on bacteria and can damage surrounding healthy tissue, it will (because of the release of oxygen bubbles) dislodge dirt and debris in wounds initially, but there's no need for repeat application. A much better method of cleaning is simple salt water - half a teaspoon of sea salt added to a cup of boiling water, allowed to cool to a warm temperature and applied to the piercing for a few minutes twice a day. Alternatively mild antibacterial soap and warm water will work just fine.
There are no specific odds of getting your belly button piercing infected. The odds of getting your belly button piercing infected go way down if you wait until the piercing is healed before you go swimming. It is important it does get infected that you see medical treatment immediately.
well when your belly button is very deep and you dont clean it often things can build up and get infected, what would help is fingering your belly button with a q-tip or your finger and cleaning it, if there is an infection you should see your doctor.
That would vary based on the piercing shop.
well the answer will be no that was the stupid question that you asked
for the same reason anyone would want to get any kind of piercing
In Kentucky, the legal age for getting a belly button piercing without parental consent is 18. Anyone under 18 would need parental permission to get a belly button piercing.
I would think so.
You can still get a belly button piercing despite what people think about it.
If there is no law on it, then I think it would be up to the person doing the piercing.
Yes very much so. I have had my belly button pierced twice and have had 2 epidurals as well and would much rather have the piercing any day. In my opinion it hurts more than 100 x's worse easy.
getting in a hot tub would not hurt a new belly button piercing, but your not supposed to. you should wait at least 6weeks after you got the piercing to sit in water. (I know this because i have ma belly button pierced. i have it pierced all around =)..) Anyway, i suggest you put a water proof band-aid over it or tape or something to cover it up b4 you get in the hot tub.
When you get your belly button pierced, the person doing it will generally, if not always, use a stainless steel belly button ring. At least they will if they're a professional, and if not you don't really need to get a piercing from them anyway.This will have to stay in until the piercing is properly healed and then you can put in a clear or plastic retainer, available in different colors.
