Dermal anchors are single-point piercings, there is no fistula "tunnel" to allow fluid to drain. A hot compress of salt water will allow any fluid to drain from the piercing. I find a combination of LITHA and very hot salt soaks to be the best method of healing piercings. I would only do a soak once a day, only increasing that number if I encounter a problem such as infection (I managed to rescue an infected sternum piercing using only salt soaks). LITHA method worked for me with my high nostrils, septum, and snakebites. Did not work with navel, sternum, 3x helix, clavicles, or 3x nape dermal anchors. I've had and healed 27 piercings now. Just use your head, it's really common sense. There's no sense thinking something if it isn't broken, but simultaneously you do not want to risk losing a nice new piercing!

You don't really need bactine - carry on using the antibacterial soap and try saline soaks. Crusties are easier to remove if you clean them in the shower when they have softened. If it gets worse and begins to hurt a lot or you get any serious swelling you should consult your piercer. What you are experiencing is quite normal for a new piercing.

(it was sterile) the first time i had it pierced, i cleaned it with a piercing solution that i had from getting my cartilidge proffesionaly pierced. i took it out because i thought it was infected and i didn't want to get worse. the second time i had it pierced, the piercing was done horribly and there was barely any skin between, one day i was on some waterslides at a hotel. while coming down the waterslide the belly ring ripped out. it didn't hurt, it just bled alot. the third time was the same story as the first time. and with the belly ring i have now, i have done some reserch and found out that my piercing was never infected, just irritated. wich helped ALOT. i now clean it with piercing solution that i got from walmart. it was only two dollars. i have had my belly pierced 4 times. none of them where proffesionaly pierced.
