Skin around belly ring getting thin?

I've had my bellyring for almost 5 years now and lately I notice that the skin around it has gotten alot thinner. Should I get it taken out, wait for it to heal and pierce it again?? I've heard stories of bellyrings getting ripped off the skin....

Have your piercer take a look at it, it could be rejecting. If it is, I would recommend taking it out and getting repierced. I had to take mine out around the beginning of September because it was pierced too high and too shallow and was at risk for tearing and I'm still waiting to repierce. Get a professional's opinion and also do what you are most comfortable with.





Good luck.

Reply:take it out.
Reply:Same thing happened to me. I took it out had it re-pierced after a year and it's happening again. Best bet is to take it out and not have it re-pierced.
Reply:Your body is rejecting it, it happens a lot easier with barbells than hoop earings. Remove it, let it heal, and get it one again if you want.
Reply:You have some weight gain around the stomach, that will make the skin thin, also if you are pregnant, take it out if pregnant or loose back to the weight when you had it done, the skin will get thicker.
Reply:the skin is starting to age, and becomes more fraile, i would suggest using a hypoallergetic soap to clean and then maybe try using an age defying cream after to tighten up the thin skin!
Reply:This has happened to me TWICE! It's like my body rejected it..even after a long time like yours. I've had mine done three times..and I think I'm done! (the first time it got ripped out ouch! be careful)
