Well it looks like a navel piercing with a navel gem barbell or a captive bead ring in it.
it does that before it heals. just like any other piercing.
It depends on the type of piercing and the size of the piercing. If it's a small gauge it will close within a few days, larger gauge a weeks. Just wash the piercing remove the jewellery and clean the area when bathing normally. It will close when it feels like it, you just need to leave it alone.

if you do it right
If you just got your nose pierced, wait for 6 weeks, then change it if you would like to.
Anywhere from 2-4 weeks. It will probably go down in about 2 weeks but it'll swell up if you hit or or something like that.
No piercing takes three weeks to heal! The human body doesnt work like that, the body takes much longer to heal any piercing regardless of what or where it may be. If some one told you there piercing was "healed in three weeks", they are feeding you a line.
No the piercing sounds like it's correct. The navel is a nest the gem in the navel should hang just about dead center, this makes the gem the egg in the nest. The point is not to have is look good for you trying to peer down at it, it's to have it look good to anyone who sees it on you. Perfectly placed navel piercing are meant to draw attention to your waist line not be the center of attention. So it sounds like your piercing is spot on and at 5'9" 150 lbs you are far from over weight.
yes it is bad, its not recommended by anyone to get a belly button piercing at a young age like 13. my sister is a doctor and says it is possible to get a disease by getting it pierced. if you want a piercing on your navel i think a good age would be 16 and over. -hope this helped
Well the jewellery should still be in the piercing, you never remove jewellery from an infected piercing unless it's the jewellery that caused the issue in the first place. Mall bought jewellery is junk and will cause reactions that will often look like and infection. Make sure you have the original jewellery in the piercing and leave it in until your situation has improved.
It is best to wait about 6-8 weeks like you would with any other piercing :)
