    First off your piercer should have told you how long it takes. Secondly Neosporin is for INFECTIONS. You do NOT have one, you should be trying some LITFA! (LEAVE IT THE FUCK ALONE!)

    Call you piercer and ask for their help. Also try www.bmezine.com for more healing information.

    It can take up to a year to heal a navel piercing.

    My piercer told me to use Neosporin too. So I did and got a rash (turns out I'm allergic). I swear that caused my healing period to last longer than it should have. It was 3 months before mine completely healed. It does take a while to heal usually but I also think maybe you should LITFA. ;) Have some patience...it will heal on it's own and if it doesn't, then take it out!

    Neosporin isn't good at all! I got a small tube of that for the first week and then after that my piercer told me if I continued to use it it would cause infection. It has oil in it which is not good. Mine was red for about a month. Be patient, it's not going to fully heal for a while.
