I did my belly piercing last Monday and was fine for few days. Yesterday I noticed redness around it and it's very sensitive and painful. I spry my piercing solution twice a day.

I am allergic to Nickel. Surgical stainless steel includes alloying elements of nickel therefore I bought Titanium belly ring to avoid any possible complications. I am wearing Titanium watch and I am fine without rush.

Can you tell me how to heal it...?

    Hydrogen peroxide (3%). From the supermarket or drugstore, swab undiluted with a q-tip, it will fizzle up and go white for a second, but it shouldn't hurt if I remember correctly. If you can, twist/move the stud around as well so the peroxide gets into the hole, make sure your hands are super clean first. It will kill the infection and dry it up, use it a few times a day, try not to touch it otherwise and don't cover it up, let it breath. Don't use the piercing solution at the same time.
