Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query you have skin infection at belly piercing site which could be due to excessive instrumentation, and it could be due to improperly sterilized instruments. Need not worry. I would suggest you to apply cotton dipped in tea tree oil and apply it on infected site. You should remove piercing and get it properly cleaned and sterilized and reinsert it.  Don't use ant cosmetics and hard substances on it. Apply topical antibacterial ointment on it such as McCoppin. Take diet rich in vitamin E. Chat Doctor.  Visit dermatologist once and get it examined and start treatment after proper prescription. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well soon. Best Wishes,
