Is my belly button piercing infected?
It looks normal unless you get close, you can see it a lil red on one side and a lil puss is coming . My mom is freaking out. I told her it was fine. I'm hoping it'll go away or not turn super bad. I just got it pierced a couple days ago. So, is that normal? I always clean my hands before using saline solution to clean it with a q tip.

It sounds a little bit on the bad end of normal, so infection could be imminent. Wear only loose clothing and soak the piercing two or three times a day in saline solution (1/8 teaspoon non iodised salt or kosher salt with 1 cup of warm water) by filling a shot glass with it then leaning against a door or counter with the glass tipped and pressed against your belly button for two or three minutes. This will ensure the solution gets everywhere in the area and avoids the risk q tips have of loose fibers catching on. If you're still unsure, give your piercer a call and they'll gladly help you out. Good luck!
