A piercing takes about six months to a year, to heal itself, depending on how sensitive your skin is to change. Clean your piercing twice a day if you’ve got one; for faster healing, treat it to salt-water once in a while.
Touching with hands is a strict no-no; you never know whether your hands carry any bacteria that can cause infection and delayed healing.
You should think about changing your navel jewelry once the wound has been healed completely. As, otherwise, changing it when the wound is fresh may lead to bleeding in the piercing.
Avoid activities like yoga, swimming as they can cause pain due to pressure in the belly area where you have got your piercing. Also, avoid spas for a while.
Do not let the fresh piercing come in contact with soap or any harsh detergent, which will cause it to itch , pain and infection.
While choosing jewelry for your navel, always start from wearing approved metals like gold silver or titanium, to avoid infection.
Avoid using perfumes or strong sprays which can cause the piercing to burn, till it is healed completely. Also, it is advised to wear comfortable clothes during this period and not tight clothes and belts especially!
