Ive had my belly button pierced twice already, the first time it got super infected and the?

Infections are due to two things: improper sterile piercing techniques or bad aftercare. But if your second piercing rejected, I'd really recommend that you don't get it re-pierced, as that's a big sign that your body doesn't want a piercing there.

Usually infections are due to either bad piercing techniques that introduce bacteria into the wound (yep a piercing is a wound no matter where you get it) or bad after care. However, there are some people who have sensitivities to metal and get infections from the metals in their skin. With body piercings the chances of this being the problem increases.

If this is the case you can't use inexpensive stainless steel jewelry or even titanium plated. You will need to find (and it isn't easy) solid titanium jewelry. You will pay more and it will be harder to find, but in the end your results will be much better and you are much less likely to get an infection from a reaction to the metal.

Good luck.

Sounds like you need to take a bit more care.... ive had more than one belly ring piercing. 1st time I just had to take it out as a school rule (went to bording school). Anyway, make salin solution... salt and water - use that to clean it atleast twice a day.

& don't feel sorry for youself-it has to heal. I find using spirit doesn't help because it makes the wound bigger-so I would rather use liquid detol as a 3rd clean before bed as a disinfectant. Keep the area dry...meaning after you shower...dub it with cotton wool/ ear buds till theres no water.

And give it a twist after / as you clean every time. Trust me it will be well, as long as the piercing is also done at a reputable parlor with sterile instruments. Best wishes miss:- ).

It sounds like you either have a metal allergy or, sometimes, it is just your body rejecting the piercing. In my experience, it does happen that the body can just reject it.

I agree with previous answers about the metal allergy...it sounds like that is a possibility since you have taken care of yourself. I have had my navel pierced before and loved it now I am 32 and a mom and wish that I would not have done it. I think that if you are intent on the piercing then you should maybe speak with your doctor (about the allergy issue) and definitely make sure the place that is doing the piercing is clean and sterile!

Good luck with whatever you decide :).

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
