You should never remove the jewelry from an infected piercing. It needs to stay open to drain. The first thing that you should do is to wear only surgical steel, titanium, or glass. Then, go see your doctor. If its actually infected, they should give you antibiotics to clear things up faster. Clean it with natural sea salt and water 2-3 times a day. Put a pinch of natural sea salt into a shot glass of warm water and use that to soak the piercing. If it starts drying out the piercing, cut back to 2 a day and just use warm water for the other cleanings. You can use antimicrobial soap 2-3 times a week but it can be drying. Don't touch the piercing and don't go swimming. Don't use alcohol or peroxide on it ever, no matter who tells you to do it. They just make the piercing raw and delay healing. Try to stay away from sick people so as not to further compromise your immune system.

Do you have to be skinny to get your belly button pierced?

No. It doesnt matter how much you weigh to get your belly button pierced. The only way you can't get it pierced is if you have a medical condition which will be affected by the piercing or if you are pregnant. PokemonGirlxxx- You can be any size to have your belly button pierced, I am not skinny nor am I too big but I have mine done. If you are pregnant or taking any medication you may not be able to have it done. If you do get it done, clean it properly and DON'T touch it without washing your hands thoroughly first.
