What is why is my belly piercing bleeding after 3 months?

It's unusual for a belly piercing to bleed after 3 months, as this is typically well past the initial healing phase. Here's a breakdown of potential reasons:

• Irritation: This is the most common cause. Things like tight clothing, excessive movement, or snagging the piercing can irritate the area and cause bleeding.

• Trauma: Even minor bumps or accidental pulls can disrupt the healing process and lead to bleeding. Be mindful of your movements and avoid activities that could put pressure on the piercing.

• Jewelry: The type of jewelry you're wearing could be a problem. Low-quality metals can cause allergic reactions or irritation. The size or shape of the jewelry could also be a contributing factor. Make sure you use implant grade titanium, surgical steel, or gold (14k or higher).

• Infection: While less likely after 3 months, a bacterial infection is still possible. Look for other signs like excessive redness, swelling, pus, pain, or a foul odor.

• Rejection: If your body is rejecting the piercing, it might try to push the jewelry out, causing bleeding and migration of the piercing.

• Over-cleaning: Excessive cleaning can also irritate the piercing and delay healing. Stick to a gentle saline solution cleaning once or twice a day.

• Underlying Skin Conditions: Existing skin issues like eczema or psoriasis around the piercing site could be contributing to the bleeding.
