Suggest Treatment For Belly Button Infection
I just got my bellybutton pierced last Saturday, and now I I think it is infected. I haven t gone in any pools or water besides showers, and I clean it then and spray a cleaning spray on it at least 4-5 times a day. It has a reddish ring around it, what do I do?

Hi,
It seems that there might be having some infection on the part.
Clean local part with plane water and apply antibiotic cream for few days.
If infection persisted then you might require one course of antibiotic medicine.
Ok and take care.
