broken promise: How long does it take for a piercing to close up?
I had my belly button pierced at the top, bottom, and a surface piercing just below my belly button. The bottom piercing and the surface piercings closed up in about 2 months, but the top one was taken out nearly 2 years ago and has still not closed up! I can even get a bar about half way through. It is quite itchy and has pus coming out of it occasionally – what should I do??
Thanks for the replies!

It depends on how long the belly button piercing was in for and whether it was fully healed, because it sounds like it’s healing because of the itchiness and pus thing. It’s probably not pus though. Give it a few more months and don’t keep trying to put bars through it.
it depends on how long you’ve had it. Im assuming a while since you say you took it out two years ago and It still hasent closed. I suggest you leave it alone, if the pus comes out on it’s own try cleaning it hand soap and/or warm water and sea salt.
