No. You should never under any circumstances put anything on your piercing such as Peroxide, Alcohol, Neosporin or Bactine. Peroxide, Alcohol and Bactine are very drying to your piercing and the surrounding skin, and will just make the problem worse. Neosporin dries inside your piercing and clogs it, causing a flare up. Regardless of what people may say, the only thing that will fully cure an infected piercing are antibiotics. Other products may mask the symptoms, leading you to believe the infection is gone, but in all reality it isnt. If you think your piercing is infected, see your doctor for antibiotics.

Is your belly button piercing infected?
Yellow or slightly greenish discharge is a sign it's infected. Never use peroxide on a piercing. it's way too harsh. I would recommend either using H2Ocean sea salt spray, or Wound Wash. They are both made for piercings and i use H2Ocean on all of my piercings and none of them have been really infected. I purchased H2Ocean at Hot Topic, but you can probably find similar products at a tattoo/piercing shop.
