A couple months ago I got my belly button pierced. After about a month it got infected and at the same time I noticed that the piercing was rejecting, even though I put a lot of effort into cleaning it. The infection never went away. This past weekend on Saturday, the piercing was at the stage where I could see about half of the metal bar of the piercing. While it was still infected and in the process of rejection, I had a really bad fall, made a wrong move and I felt the rest of the piercing rip out. Even though I knew I was going to lose the piercing I was going to keep it in until the infection went away so that I didn't get an abscess. Well, the piercing came out and since then (about 5 days ago) I've been cleaning it and putting Neosporin on it with a band aid. It is not getting better. every time I change the band-aid there is a lot of pus, although the wound seems more or less closed. It is very painful, red, and appears to be a small bubble. I am worried that this is an abscess and I don't know how to get it under control. I don't want it to get to the point where I need an operation and I know that if it is left for too long they can even be fatal. Is there anything else I can do to heal it, should I be terribly concerned about my well-being, and do you think that oral antibiotics would help? Please help... I'm really worried... Thanks so much.
