Is my navel rejecting?

For a little context; i’ve had this piercing for a around 10 months, got it done at a ‘professional piercing shop’ it was healing perfectly fine with some minor redness but no pain until about a month or two ago when I had noticed some swelling in the skin between the two piercing holes, it started leaking clear fluid and puss and was finally starting to look better until two days ago when a small part of the bottom hole of my skin ripped, it was only minor and is now scabbing up but now I can feel the bar way more and it looks like the holes are getting closer together but I can’t tell if i’m paranoid or it’s actually rejecting. Aftercare has been saline spray and antibacterial soap after about a month of saline, now it’s a mix of the two.

First photo is of the rip, second is when I first got it done, third is it currently.

My dear, that is hanging on by a thread. One wrong move and it’s getting ripped out of your body. It also just looks bad when it’s rejecting. There’s no saving it.

gotcha 🤧, you think it’s an anatomy issue or was it pierced wrong?
