Sounds to me like you had an infection in
your belly button (this could have been
caused by anything) you have scratched it,
maybe at first in your sleep &/or
while cleaning your belly button &
this has led to the infection spreading.
If this were most other places you could
probably treat it with antiseptic cream or
fluid & by keeping it really clean
& dry. But the belly button is one of
those places that we can't see, can't be
sure it's dry (you do sweat there too)
can't be sure no fluff is there (& if
you check too often or scratch anywhere
while checking you could make the
infection worse & it will spread even
more) so I suggest you see a dr & get
the right cream - by now it & you may
need anti-biotics.
Of course I could be overreacting but I
can't see it & actually you can't see
the centre of the problem either.

Belly Button Infection

A few days ago I noticed that on the
bottem part of my belly button the skin
was transparent and you could see red but
I thought nothing of it then it broke open
and theres all this skin out and it's
growing up my barbell I really don't want
to take it out or tell my mom because she
didn't think that I was responsible enough
to have it pierced in the first place what
should I do?

After looking at several websites I found
out that the bump on the bottem of my
navel piercing is a hypertrophic scar,
although I looked at many sites i've yet
to find out how to treat it, any advice?

Could Be An Allergic Reaction to Nickel

It could be an allergic reaction to nickel
-- either in the barbell piercings or in
the snap on jeans.
I would buy only high quality (no nickel)
stuff...

Genieangel is right. Nickel allergy is
becoming more and more common. If it's
right where your belt or your jean buttom
hits your skin it's possible it is a
nickel allergy.

You can lay down with water and sea salt
in a shot glass!! it will burn,but make it
feel better!!
