If your belly piercing has not started to puss by day five, then CONGRATULATIONS! This means you have done something right. I have pierced my own belly button twice. The first time it started to puss, I went to visit the doctor and he told me their was an infection. I then waited a few months later to try again. I am now on day 6 of my navel piercing, and it has not pussed. The best thing for it is leaving salt water on it for 15 mins a day, twice a day. And don't play with it two much, if you feel the urge to tho, make sure your hands are clean! Wash it in the shower too with anti-bacterial soap. This will speed up the healing process.

Is your belly button piercing supposed to release pus?

Well, it depends on how much, and if it's really pus, or just lymph. Lymph will accumulate on any piercing, it will look like the crusty stuff you get in your eyes when you wake up. This is totally normal and expected. Pus can be seen in small amounts, especially since navel piercings take the longest to heal out of ANY body piercing. But if you're seeing tons of it and the piercing looks inflamed or infected, then I'd go get it checked out. Be really good about doing sea salt rinses every day while it heals!
