Should Navel Piercing Be Removed If Skin Peels And Yellow Crust Forms?
I had my navel pierced a year ago and recently it has started to hurt and the skin is red and peeling at the top of the bottom ball. I've also noticed when cleaning that there is a light yellow crust around the bottom ball.
Should i take it out and let it heal?

Hi,
Nothing to worry,
At present you need not remove navel ring.
Clean the part properly including inside the navel and apply antibiotic cream for few days.
If problem persisted then remove navel ring.
Ok and take care.
