DEAR ALLEY:Β About 2Β years ago, I got my navel piercing and I had a hard time healing it. Iβm not sure if my body was rejecting the jewelry, or if it was because I also gained weight afterwards. I left my piercing in for about a year and a half after getting it pierced and even though I was always cleaning it properly, I feel as if it never was healing. It constantly hurt and was always sore. I took my belly ring out one night and by the next morning my hole had closed up. Now I have a significant scar - itβs about one (1) inch long. IΒ |
