 [ Symptoms ] i got my bellybutton pierced but i think it is infected if i take the piercing out will the skin grow back together [ Disease ] it depends on how recently you had the piercing done so if it is within the first week or so chances are the skin might grow back together although you will still have a scar at the site if it is longer than that chances are you will always have at least a potential space there however if there is an infection it does need to be evaluated by a doctor and treated and the piercing may need to be removed until the infection has cleared at least
