Question: how long does it take for a belly button piercing to heal when you take it out?
Answer: These include redness, swelling, yellow or green discharge, or pain when you touch the site. You could also have a fever. If you have any of these symptoms, call your doctor right away. Unlike pierced ears, which take 4 to 6 weeks to heal, your belly button may not fully heal for up to 1 year.
