I recently had my navel pierced. I didn't realize the total healing time was 6 months to a year. I was wondering if after it is healed can you change the ring/barbell as frequently as a person changes earrings, such as to match an outfit etc. ? Also I was told by my piercer not to use sea salt that that was only used for a sort of last resort if it will not heal. I was instructed to wash the area and jewelry twice daily with antibacterial soap and rotate the ring a few times while doing this. Why is there so much discrepency in after care? Mine is doing just fine without the sea salt soaks. Hmmm I guess it just depends on the person and how fast or well they heal. :rolling:
