Belly Button Piercing After Infection: Healing Time & Prevention

It is recommended to wait at least 6-12 months before getting your belly button pierced again after an infection. This will give the area enough time to fully heal and reduce the risk of another infection. During this time, it's important to keep the area clean and dry to promote healing. You should also avoid swimming, hot tubs, and other activities that could introduce bacteria to the area. If you have any concerns or questions about your belly button piercing, it's best to consult with a healthcare professional.
