I had got my naval pierce along time ago and it didn't come out good. So I decided to take my pierce off because it was hurting and itchy and I just want to know if its infected.

Answers:
There is a possibility that taking out your piercing could have gotten it infected due to the exposure to air. you can easily tell when a puncture wound or a cut is infected. If around the piercing is very red, then odds are its become infected. There are several things you can do, peroxide, dethol, or special anti bacterial ointments meant for piercings can clear that up. also, your doctor can perscribe you medication that can clear out the infection.
also, if it wasn't pierced properly, that could have given you an infection as well because its in such a sensitive area. Your belly button is much like under your finger nails, lots of bacteria reside there so when you have a belly button piercing you have to take special care with it.
The highest possibility that i can think of is that with the poor way it was pierced it will move and possibly tear a bit of your skin, and that would be the reason its hurting and the healing is making it itchy. I know i got the cartilage on my ears pierced 5 years ago and its still itchy and will occasionally start to heal over if i don't keep my earrings in.
also, if its starts to turn green (my sisters did because she pierced it herself and didn't do it right) i suggest you go to a doctor asap.Health Question & Answer

How does it look to you.? You could put some Dethol on it, and put a plaster or bandage if necessary. When I was a baby, I picked at my navel alot and now it looks horrible and I get sudden urges to pick at my navel, so it might be a similar case.Health Question & Answer
