Belly Button Flaking

Hello so I recently got my belly button pierced on August 3rd. At first it was fine (the last picture) but maybe a few days ago it started to get darker and flake. I have been cleaning it daily but I’m not sure when this will go away. I’m not sure if it’s just dry, if it’s irritated or if its rejected.

Age: Around 13 days
Jewelry Shape: Barbell
Type of Threading: I’m not sure
Jewerly material: I’m not sure
It has not been downsized
Aftercare: I use saline solution and hypochlorous acid.
Unfortunate events: I will be honest and say that been messing with it a bit since I thought it looked crooked and it was irritating me. Besides that I try to be careful with it but I have hit it accidentally a few times.
