Clean and disinfect daily and turn ring from one end to the other. Scabs that form on either end of the piercing should be left alone. Avoid saunas, solarium, swimming and bathing as the tissue may swell and soften (Danger of infection). Do not wear a belt or tight fitting clothing over the navel till the piercing is completely healed. On sitting down the waist band should be loosened to reduce pressure on the tissue. During the healing process a scab will form and the puncture site may ooze slightly (lymph). This is a sign that healing is taking place. The oozing may get onto the ring and when dry is like a scab. This should be removed from the ring using warm water and slowly turning the ring. This is done best under the shower.
