A woman is walking in the water, with a pierced belly button. The swimming pool might be a great place to show off your new belly button ring, but don't jump in the water until your piercing heals. Even chemically treated water can harbor germs that cause infections in open wounds. People heal at different rates. While healing is typically complete within 9 months, it can take up to a year for a belly button ring site to heal. If you notice drainage, redness or swelling at the piercing site, contact your health care provider as you may need antibiotics to clear up the infection.
It can take 3 - 4 weeks to fully heal. It is one of the fastest  healing piercings. Swelling generally lasts for the first 10 - 14  days. Depending on the severity of the bite it can take anywhere from a 2 or 3 days to a little over a week. I speak from personal experience. The only thing to do is use some â¦ peroxide to keep it clean and use some warm salt water to help the healing. It might be hard to eat and or feel weird while talking.
