There are real reasons why we tell clients not to use Alcohol or Hydrogen Peroxide on there piercings. Both of these products are very hard on the tissue that your body is trying to form. Alcohol tends to over dry the tissue and Hydrogen Peroxide over oxygenates the tissue making it very fragile.
You don't need either of these products to clean your piercings. Simple washing the piercing daily and rotating or shuffling the jewellery under warm running water will do wonders for the health of the piercing and will allow the tissue to heal without damaging it.
You can on occasion use a unscented liquid antibacterial soap diluted and lathered up to deep clean the piercing while moving the jewellery, but this must be followed by a good warm water rinse while moving the jewellery again to completely rinse the piercing out.
But do not use Alcohol or Hydrogen Peroxide, Polysporin, Neosporin, Tea tree oil, Bactine, Worm root, Sea Salt, Table Salt, Epsom Salts or any other chemical or ointment on your piercing unless you are under the direct instruction of your Doctor.Unless you know exactly how to use these products correctly you stand a much better chance of screwing up your piercing.

You can, but you are better off using a product that will treat infection, such as Neosporin.

Not at all - because you went to a reputable piercing salon, your belly ring is just secreting anti-microbial compounds to prevent such an infection from happening. Good call.
Scarring and just like any open wound, infection. A properly done piercing by a professional can not cause an infection (everything is sterile) and as long as proper aftercare is followed they heal easily.
Pus indicates an infection. Go see your doctor right away.
well when your belly button is very deep and you dont clean it often things can build up and get infected, what would help is fingering your belly button with a q-tip or your finger and cleaning it, if there is an infection you should see your doctor.
Unlikely, although hitting a vein does increase the chance of an infection.
You don't have to. Pools contain chlorine. The chlorine actually prevents infection.
The pain of the belly button piercing should subside after a week.
