Floating naval, implant grade titanium, using saline
Seems like this is a pretty common problem but wondering if anyone has advice on what I should do from here. I’ve had the piercing (floating naval) for 2 years and have changed the jewelry myself a few times, but about a month ago I went back to the original piercer and got one with the bottom gem put in. I think it got caught on clothing a few times in the days after and I’ve been having issues since then. It hurts and it’s super red and gooey underneath the top gem (which is the one it got pierced with 2 years ago) and a bump is growing downward into my naval. For about a week I’ve been washing with saline and blow drying it on cool after but I don’t think it’s getting much better. Any advice? This is probably a bad idea but I’m tempted to just take it out for a few days to let everything settle down
