A woman is walking in the water, with a pierced belly button. The swimming pool might be a great place to show off your new belly button ring, but don't jump in the water until your piercing heals. Even chemically treated water can harbor germs that cause infections in open wounds. People heal at different rates. While healing is typically complete within 9 months, it can take up to a year for a belly button ring site to heal. If you notice drainage, redness or swelling at the piercing site, contact your health care provider as you may need antibiotics to clear up the infection.
There will come a time after you have your belly button pierced that you will want to change the jewelry. In order to avoid health risks such as infection, you must ensure that your piercing is fully healed before trying to change your belly button ring. fully healed piercing wonât hurt at all and the area around the piercing will be the same color as the rest of your skin. If you are unsure if your belly button is healed, go to the piercer you used and ask her if it is healed enough to change the jewelry. Some piercing shops will change the jewelry for you.
