I took out my belly button piercing after 3 days because it was performed wrong and i don't like it at all. what can i use to disinfect the wound and make it heal? will the holes close?

Wash the area with soap and water, Towel dry, and apply triple antibiotic cream to the raw area. It should heal and the hole will close. Refrain from piercings and tattoos. Wish you good health!
