Muscke twitching: It sounds like a muscle twitching. Muscle twitching is caused by minor muscle contractions in the area, or uncontrollable twitching of a muscle group that is served by a single motor nerve fiber. Mostly, it is temporary stuff but if it gets worse and getting more often, you have to see your pcp for a possible neuro-muscular disease.

Skin infection: Without seeing this infection i would discuss hygeine and keeping the ring clean. But, if antibiotics do not help then the temporary removal of the ring may be warranted until the infection is fully treated.

Don't know: I have no idea...I can't see it. If there is concern, get it checked out. Most likely it isn't a big deal, but it's worth getting it looked at.

Where are period cramps located? Bellybutton level or lower? Or both?

Pelvis: Usually, period cramps are felt in the pelvis - way below the belly button. Back is another location mentioned by some women. You may have discomfort around your belly button due to bloating which is frequently seen in women at the time of period.
