If you want to needlessly irritate it and dry it out, sure. But in all seriousness, no, don't use this on the site. The best thing to use on virtually all fresh piercings that you can make at home for little money, use sea salt soaks. For this, you will mix a ¼ Teaspoon of non-iodized Sea Salt with 8oz. of, as warm to hot as you can stand it within reason, distilled water. The optimal time to do this is right after a hot shower at twice a day for the initial healing time of the piercing. You don't want to over clean the site, and you don't want to under clean it either. You will mix this solution in a one time use disposable cup and will then "cup" the cup over the piercing site and hold it firm to the skin, making a seal, and let it just soak the site for about 15 minutes. The warm to hot water mixed with the sea salt makes a great astringent which is vastly better for you than trying to use such things as peroxide and the like. After the 15 minute soak, take a clean Q-tip and gently wipe away the softened lymphatic fluid that will most likely be accumulated at the fistula and harden on the rod. Don't use the same side of the swab for both sides of the entrance points, and when done, rinse the area with warm water and pat dry the site.

A new body piercing should be cleaned regularly. It should be kept dry, and you should avoid playing with it too much. You can buy piercing cleaner in stores, or you can use first aid alcohol. To clean a naval piercing, you should use one of the options above. A good brand is H2Ocean piercing cleanser. If the naval is infected, there are many steps to take.

Use hydrogen peroxide to drain the infections, but you should not use it often becuase it will freeze the cells and complicate the healing process.

Can you put peroxide on a belly button piercing?
No, when I got my belly button pierced my piercer told me specifically not to use peroxide or alcohol on the piercing. If peroxide or alcohol gets on it, it'll be fine but it dries out your skin which isn't good for healing or cleaning. Use soapy warm water and a sea salt water mixture to throughly clean your piercing, that's what I used, as I was following my piercer's instructions. I've had my piercing for almost 7 months and I've never had a problem with it.
