A member asked:
I got my belly buttom pierced it's fine until i feel the bar of the piercing . i don't see it through my skin but when i touch it hurts i'm scared?

Piercing pain: The main concern would be infection. You would expect to see some pus draining from where the skin is pierced and some redness in the surrounding skin. Seek help for an antibiotic prescription if these signs (or fever, chills, body aches) develop.
