Unfortunately there isn't. Bad jewelry material causes permanent discoloration of the skin.
Now you learned your lesson.
Only titanium or stainless steel or 18K and above gold should be on a piercing. Anything else, like silver or other metals can cause irritation, swelling, yellowish discharge and permanent discoloration of the skin.
Source(s): Lots of piercings, belly button piercing included.
