Piercing Questions

Body Piercing Question…?

5 Comments 21 February 2010

I had my belly button pierced for 7 months, it came down to an infection so i went to the doc and they prescribed this ointment. It was working great it took the infection away so as i was taking a shower a few weeks ago i noticed that my belly button ring was being held by a litle piece of skin (dead skin) which it wont hold it for long i immediatly took it out..
i researched online and it said that my body rejected it therefore my skin LITTERALLY pushed it out… i was planning on getting it repierced..
it is now closed and left a nasty scar..
i miss my piercing and i want to cover that scar so i want to get it redone…
THE QUESTION IS:
what are the chances of that happening again?

    If you go to a reputable piercer,and actually do the proper after care it should be slim chances. Never use ointment,hydrogen peroxide,alcohol,regular salt or soap on a piercing. That ointment is a factor in why your piercing got rejected.

    it depends on WHY it rejected. if it was poor placement, a better piercer might be able to do it successfully. if your body didn’t want it, there’s nothing you can do. if you try it again and it rejects, don’t do it a third time.

    Yes, it was just rejecting. I hear of navel piercings rejecting so often. If you rejected it once, it is likely it will reject again.

    Of course it’ll reject it again. Your body just might not like the metal the piercing was made if. Go to your piercer and talk to them about it.

    It is important to figure out what went wrong so you can correct the problem the second time around. You may need jewelry of a different size, style or material; your aftercare regimen may need to be altered; or you may need the piercing placed differently. It might have been too shallow, which can lead to migration and rejection.
