Is it okay for your belly piercing not to pus after 5 days?

Answer 1

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.
