Any idea how to avoid infection after piercing?

I had my navel pierced like 2 month ago.. it was fine until a week ago it started to hurt when i touch it..Please help??!

Answers:
after 2 months this shouldn't be happening so you should go back to the studio who pierced you have have them take a look, you might have simply tore it a bit, or possibly nicked the jewelry which have cut the fistula a bit (both of those things can lead to infections if you dont already have one) Is it possible you've just irritated it, by pulling it or bumping it on something frequently-even the edge of your pants? Keep doing your salt soaks 1/4tsp (sea salt not table or epsom) to 8oz warm water 2x a day for 10min. DO NOT overclean it or use ointments, alcohol, peroxide, etc this things damage and irritate an already cranky piercing. Doctors typically arent to helpful with healing piercings so you'll most likely be told to take out the jewelry and let it heal-if thats what youd like to do thats fine but if there is an infection it could be trapped causing an abcess. Also remember doctors arent taught to heal piercings, just the wound.it's different than say a cut.


consult a doctor. he can help u. Moreover u wil hav to take antibiotic medicine.
sorry i don`t know i am curious to know.
clean as instructed by piercer
alcahol
keep it clean at least three times a day
put some iodine 3 times a day.
it will disappear in two days
keep it clean and do not touch it with your hands, who knows where they have been.
If it hurts bad go to where you pierced it and see what do they have to say
and if that doesn't help do go to doctors!
1st of all do not touch it or play with it

2nd keep it clean as frequently as possible

and 3rd apply surgical spirit as often as possible. It will do miracles.
