A member asked:
I changed my belly button ring at six months. when i changed it it bled a little and i'm concerned it's by totally healed and i changed it too early?

Six months: should be sufficient to heal the "hole" made with the ring! If it bled it is probably due to some trauma when you removed it! BTW the belly button by its very nature is NOT the "cleanest" place on your body so if you wish to keep a ring there KEEP THE AREA CLEA with frequent ALCOHOL WIPES!!! Hope this helps! Dr Z
