Do’s

• You must wear loose clothes or even go shirtless if you can. This would help minimize the friction and thus irritation around the skin.
• You must take care of your general health. So sleep, eat, and drink well so that your skin can heal better. Skin heals better when the immune system is strong.
• Wash your hands a lot and especially before you touch the pierced part. It will help prevent any bacteria formation which will cause infection.
• Avoid all kinds of public pools, rivers, beaches, jacuzzi, ponds, oceans, etc which will introduce new bacteria and which can cause infections.

Don’ts

• Touch, fiddle with, or rotate your jewelry. It needs to be as immovable as possible. Otherwise, it can cause rejection or migration and will hurt more than it did before.

• Do not change your jewels until you are sure that you are completely healed. Ask for your piercer’s advice. Show him or her your infected area and wait for their approval.
• Do not use a tanning bed.
• Do not make sudden jerky movements with your belly button which can cause the skin to be pulled or displaced from its original position.
