Well it will shrink then eventually close (2-3 months), it could take several months for your body to break down the tissue that has formed in the piercing.

Does your belly button get closed when your pregnant?

When you get pregnant, most care providers recommend removing your belly button ring. Even women who don't remove their rings report that belly button rings itch and pull as the belly stretches around the fifth or sixth month. There is also the risk of infection if the belly button ring scratches you or opens a small wound. If you do take out your belly button ring, the piercing hole will probably close, requiring you to re-pierce your belly button after having your baby. However, if you don't want to take out your belly button ring you may want to purchase a non-metal pregnancy piercing ring. These are flexible and two inches long to accommodate your growing belly. Pregnant women claim that this product allows them to keep their bellies pierced without the discomfort of other belly button piercing.

At three months the piercing should be healed, at least mostly. That means that swimming in chlorine will not affect it. Still steer clear of lakes and streams.


Can you move your belly button piercing when you get it?

Right after you get it, no you dont really want to touch it unless it is for cleaning. But after a couple of weeks to a month yes you can move it or take it in and out. But still try not to play with it for a while.


I got my belly button pierced and i took it for about a month and it hurts when i try to put it in do i have to pierce it again or disinfect it wait for it to close i dont know how can i get it back?

You need to see a professional body piercer, they will take the jewellery resterilize it and put it into the piercing using an insertion taper. You will more than likely get the lecture about removing the jewellery before the piercing is completely healed, but I think you knew that would happen.

What to do when a belly button piercing is red and swollen?

It all depends on how long you have had your piercing. If it has been more than 1 month, it might be infected. But if it is relatively new, that is perfectly normal. In both cases, just keep cleaning it with a sea salt and water solution and it should be OK. If is persists, go to your piercer, and they should be able to tell you and give you further instructions. Happy Piercing!

Is it safe to take a belly button piercing out one month after done?

Yes you can take the jewellery out but more over why? If it's healing fine and you have no issues your should just leave the jewellery alone and don't mess with it let it heal. The piercing will more than likely close up quickly making the reinsertion of the jewellery difficult and requiring the assistance of a body piercer to get the jewellery back in without causing bleeding or piercing damage. I can never understand why people spent the money to get a piercing then 30 days later the want to take it out for no real reason other than to mess around with the piercing and risk causing and infection or further delay the healing time.


How long before a piercing closes?

It depends on how long you have had the piercing. if its new about a couple mins to an hour maybe depends on the body part you put the piercing. if you had it for a while it could take a couple days to close or a month
