Daughter had her's done about 11 days ago and has been cleaning it and spraying it was an antibactiral spray and it looks clean and isn't hurting her but she has a red ring all the way round the top and bottom if it, i've all always though to mean infection, i'm going too ring the doctors tomorrow but what do you think?
It did look horrible when she had it first done (against my advice) and she bled loads

Step one: Cross your arms and tap your foot in a 'I told you so' way.
Step two: Tell her to remove it and to stop being chav like.
Step three: Use some sort of cream on the sore
Step four: Have a cup of tea with some bourbon biscuits.
I'm getting my brain pierced in Harley Street on Tuesday.
One step ahead.
If everything goes okay I should be on GMTV on Wednesday
Pioneering shit this is. I wouldn't want it to go wrong

i've already had the pleasure of saying i told you so
my daughter had hers done a couple of years ago... Do they have an aftercare service at the shop she had it done at? If so (& if they are a good outfit they should do).. then I suggest she go in & let them have a look at it for her tomorrow.
My daughter had a few problems with hers initially, and it used to get caught on the waistband of her school skirt so as soon as she possibly could she changed the barbell thing to one of the flexi retainers you can get (sometimes used to keep the piercing viable during pregnancy)

she went back to the shop on the same day as she had it done cause of how much blood she lost, it's not in our area so not easy too get back too, she's looked on their website and there are loads of unhappy customers, she'll have too go to the doctors and get it checked, with there being a complete circle of red around the stud that it made me think it might be infected
oh dear!
yeah... best she does go to the doctors then!
when I had my nose pierced it started to smell funny 
... so I went to the doctor & they gave me some hydrogen peroxide solution to put on it, and it sorted it out!
It's not unusual for some pus to come out of the pierced site for a couple of days but it shouldn't be red and sore. If it is, it's likely it's become infected (whether by them not using sterile equipment or just an unfortunate case).
She may need antibiotics to help clear it. If this doesn't work after she's seen her doctor, she may have to take it out altogether. If others are complaining, it could be down to a lack of hygiene on their part 
I had mine done about 15 years ago and it was slightly sore the first few days but it's important to keep cleaning it and if possible twist the ring - I use slightly diluted TCP or Dettol to keep mine clean.
I hope it clears up soon

Which lobe? 
Full frontal, I hope.
What is she using to clean it Aimee? When I got my ears pierced they told me to use Dettol diluted in warm water, seemed to work well 
This Dettol btw, not the kitchen spray
Most people I know have had pain with belly button piercings. Some times when piercings get infected it's not the fault of the piercing but bad hygiene - not suggesting mini Aims has bad hygiene though Aimee, just saying.
I won't tell you the story of a mate of mine who did piercings and the guy who got an infected todger 
*shudder!* I have never had anything piereced except my earlobes and never ever would .. wouldnt have any tats either.

) were rejected by my skin, they just worked their way out and then cleared up *shudder!* I have never had anything piereced except my earlobes and never ever would .. wouldnt have any tats either.
i've had my nose done but don't wear it anymore and i have 1 tatt but trying to till a girl that is 17 next month that what she likes now she may not like in 5 yrs time is a hard battle i seriously don't like this time of her life
) were rejected by my skin, they just worked their way out and then cleared up i've just had another look at it and it doesn't look that bad, she is the cleaniest person i know (i do the laundry so i should know) and she has done everything they told her too do, i've looked on lone and some say it may just be a reaction to the actual bar, daughter say's she will take it out if it doesn't heal before she goes too college in Sept
