A member asked:
Can you swim in the ocean with a new belly button piercing? i got my belly button pierced last week, and in 3 months am going on vacation.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Piercing: In three months you should be OK to go in the ocean. Make sure you keep the area clean and dry now until it is fully healed. Ask your doctor if there is any question of a possible infection.
