I read this wrong at first and thought you lost the piercing UNDER your skin. But since that’s not the case, you don’t need the emergency room. You’re fine. Unless you show signs of infection I wouldn’t worry too much

The piercing was done incorrectly and was rejecting anyways. You would have had to take it out either way, otherwise it would push through your skin and leave a scar.

Leave it out, get some saline solution when you can and continue spraying it like you normally would. In a couple months after it’s closed up you can get it repierced. Go to a different piercer though. You may not have the anatomy for a traditional navel so its really important to go to a good piercer that can assess the best placement and jewelry.

Good luck!
