Okay, so I got my belly button pierced last Monday night, and I've been pretty diligent with cleaning it and not touching. I've been putting ointment I was given to put on it and Bactine( lady who has her belly pierced said to use it). I peirced my belly 3 days ago and each day the red gets worse and it hurts really badly. Don't use a tanning bed with a healing piercing.It is unsanitary, and submerging the piercing in unclean water is bound to cause you irritation. Don't go into a pool, hot tub, ocean, lake, or any other body of water until your piercing is healed.If you want to wear something gaudy and "bling bling'" to "da club" that's fine, as long as you replace it with a normal, lightweight piece of jewelry when you get home. The weight of heavy jewelry will pull on the piercing and irritate it. Danglies can catch on belts, pants, or shirts, which will irritate the piercing. Do not wear heavy barbells or barbells with danglies (things that hang) for extended periods.It's also good to buy the new jewelry from your piercer, so that you know you are getting high-quality jewelry. The best thing to do is to return to the piercer to make sure it's okay to change it, and perhaps to get him or her to change it for you. Do not change the jewelry until you are absolutely healed.Do not touch your piercing for any reason other than to clean it. Do not wear tight-fitting clothing that restricts the breathing of the piercing.Do not use hand sanitizer, Dial soap, or peroxide, as they are all too harsh for a piercing and can cause irritation.Do not use any type of ointment on the piercing-A&D, bacitracin, Neosporin, or Bactine- because it can smother a piercing.Aftercare don'ts Don'ts With a New Piercing
