Fine Sterling Silver
How do I cure a really bad belly button piercing infection?
I got my belly button pierced at home safely, and it was doing fine, until I had to replace the jewelry because it was uncomfortable.
Ever since I replaced it with a smaller sterling Silver Ring it has been getting redder and redder. I made sure to strerilze the ring and the area around my belly button first.
At first I was only using anti bacterial soap. It was only a little pink then.
Then when I realized I was getting an infection I tried hydrogen peroxide.
I then moved to seasalt, because a friend told me it worked. Ever since I started using the sea salt, the piercing has started pussing and bleeding. I also have red bumps inside my belly button.
I also use bactine, antibacterial soap, and neosporin.
Is it possible that I am using too much seasalt, or my body is having an alergic reaction to something? What is the best way to cure this infection??
Okay Dear, first let me share with you it wasn’t done safely at home, or you would not be having these complications. Now, here is what you need to do. First make an appointment with a physician, sounds like you have a bacterial infection from the description you’ve given. Also with the red bumps, the infection is spreading. I’m not trying to scare you, but there is a rapidly occurring staph infection, that is literally sweeping the nation. It is appreciate MRSA, stands for methecillen resistant staphylococcus Auras. Having said this, it is a very serious bacterial infection and requires antibiotic therapy to cure yourself of. Even if it is not staph, it still needs to be evaluated by a physician, and with pus, redness, red bumps, all of these are MAJOR SYMPTOMS THAT SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT. Neosporin oint, is seldom effective against an advanced infection. Anytime pus is present the infection is advancing. I’m a Registered Nurse and please heed the warning, go and be seen by a doctor ASAP, if this is not possible go to the nearest emergency room. You need not suffer with an infection in this day and age of health care and modern technology. Please go to the doctor.
