Glittering rhinestone jewelry in the navel, on the nose or on the tongue is, of course, beautiful, but at the same time dangerous. Dangerous for our he alth. Indeed, in the pursuit of fashion and style, we completely forget about our body. Whatever the piercing: an earring in the navel or a ball on the tongue - if special rules for caring for them are not followed, there is a huge risk of inflammatory processes.
Piercing is not childish
Any specialist will tell you that any artificial hole on the human body can cost him dearly, causing this or that infection. Punctures in the mouth area (lips and tongue) are widespread among young people, and it is in this place that a puncture is not only not desirable, but also not childishly dangerous! But the navel earring is the least dangerous type of piercing (naturally, with proper care for it). Rarely is healing as easy asjust like regular ear piercings. If you approach the care of a navel piercing with all responsibility, then on average it will take about six months.
How to care for your piercing
As you know, silver kills germs, so with a fresh piercing, we recommend using silver earrings, they fit perfectly in the navel! So, you went to a cosmetic or piercing parlor and pierced your belly button. Congratulations, your dream has come true! Now to the point. Please note that the first five days your navel will look perfect, so take advantage of this - take pictures with a bare stomach, show off to friends and girlfriends, and so on. In general, have time to enjoy its beauty. Why "succeed"? Because in five days this place will take on a slightly different look. Where the ring directly enters the navel, redness will appear, and a liquid will begin to ooze from the puncture, resembling milk in color. But do not be afraid! This is completely normal. Your body just wants to push out the foreign object, that's all!
Process twice a day
the place where the earring enters the navel, potassium permanganate concentrate or hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Roll your jewelry during treatment to disinfect the puncture site as best as possible. Remember! No alcohol solution! The following are cases where the situation may get out of control and you will need immediate medical attention. Do not ignore them and carefully monitor your he alth,if:
- the number of allocations has increased markedly;
- discharge turned yellow;
- initial redness spread further and further;
- pain appeared.
Again, any of these cases is a serious reason to visit a doctor. Please take this seriously!
Know that the wound formed by the earring in the navel is considered fully healed only when the redness disappears! Therefore, in no case do not stop treating the puncture site until the redness is completely gone. Otherwise, we repeat, you risk infection.
And finally, one more warning: no pools, saunas and beaches until the wound heals! Also, don't remove your belly button piercing until you're sure the wound has completely healed. Be aware of your risk.
