Belly Button Swollen, Sore And Painful, Clear Liquid With Blood Oozing Out. Cleaning With Sea Salt And Warm Water. Remedy?

Hi there, I recently got a belly button piercing almost two months ago and about two days ago the area where inbetween the bottom and top ball of my piercing is swollen, red and the skin feels hard. I have been cleaning the piercing with sea salt and warm water 2-3 times a day, although for about a week I didnt. It feels sore and slightly painful, and clearish liquid with blood has been oozing out.

Hi, recently you got belly button piercing, two days ago there is swelling, since one week, still it is pain full and oozing.
I dont know for what you got piercing, any how it is confirmed that it got pus, and became septic. i think it is for draining ascitic fluid.
If it is me for my patients i get the culture and sensitivity done and treat with sensitive drugs, and anti inflamatories. Thank you.
