    Default rash from belly ring

    I need some advice ladies.
    I have had my belly button pierced for 7 years and never had any reaction to any different rings or barbells that I have worn in it.
    I bought this fake chanel belly ring that had a big ball with claws on it and a fake diamond in the middle which sat right in my belly button.
    Well I have taken it out now coz my whole belly button area and surrounding skin now has red lumps and inflamation all over it!!!!
    I went to a piercing shop today and the guy says wash it with saline.

    Anyone know if there is any cream or anything that I could put on it to heal it quicker? It looks really awful and I'm working thursday night.
    It's also really itchy.

    I used Ear Care spray on all my piercings and it works. Use several times a day. You buy it from pharmacies.

    A goth lady turned me on to (she's used on infected piercings): Hibacleans < exact spelling. It's in a teal color bottle, sold @ Walgreens. Used by dr.'s to sterlize hands. How about also aloe vera, it may be soothing.

    Change the ring for another, there's a decent chance there was nickle in the decorative portion of the jewelry.

    Boxingdoc nailed it, an antihystamine and a cortisone cream will clear it up. If it gets infected then you can worry about Hibacleans etc.
