A member asked:
How normal would it be for my skin around my belly ring to peel like a sunburn?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: This may be a sign of infection or adverse reaction or allergy, in all likelihood it is probably best to remove the piercing and allow it to heal.

I agree with: Dr placik: this is a concern - could be either infection or an allergic response. Best to get it looked at.
