    I got my bellybutton pierced on wednesday, I've been cleaning it twice a day with saline solution, followed by ten minutes soaking in warm salt water, there's no swelling or leaking or redness or anything, but it's still pretty sore, like all the time! It's not really painful, but I'm just constantly aware of the pirecing. Is this normal or am I looking at an infection? thanks in advance

    Normal. You should boil the water then let it cool before salt soaking if you aren't doing it already. Sounds healthy to me, no swelling etc. always good :)

    Brilliant! Yeah I'm already boiling the water, nearly scalded myself the first time I was doing it though, as the water wasn't that hot to the touch, but I failed to predict that the metal bar would get really freakin hot when submerged in it! I was kind of worried I'd caused an infection that way, but you've put my mind at ease, thanks!
