A friend of mine has had her belly button pierced three times now in the last three years.

She has a big scar above her bellybutton that the current ring is going through but it has taken a looooong time to heal. It is still oozing, not much and she said really only when she squeezes it. She washes with dial soap and soaks it in, I think, brown listerine. I know she keeps it as clean as she can.

Now I've heard that bellybuttons are the worst for healing and she seems to prove this point.

Is this typical? Any suggestions on what she could do?

This one is outside my personal realm of experience so I told her I'd ask the guys who knew, knowing that some of you were Pros.

Thanks in advance.
