What does it mean when a bump filled with pus grows under the navel piercing?

. i kinda poped it not knowing it was there and it wot stop bleeding.

Answer #1

It’s just infected. Try cleaning it with hydrogen peroxide, i have the same issue with my ears and it sucks, but it only lasts a couple days if you keep cleaning them twice a day.

Answer #2

its a keloid i got one from my nose piercing. its scar tissue build up, they usallly go awaay but some dont ( like mine).

Answer #3

Uh, NO, do NOT clean it with hydrogen peroxide. That’s extremely bad for a piercing. If you need to get rid of an infection, clean it with antibacterial soap in the shower and do a sea-salt soak at least twice a day. It’s either infected, or it’s rejecting. If it’s rejecting, there’s not much you can do about it. If the infection spreads a lot, you need to go to the doctor.

Answer #4

its just remaining tissue. Pretty much an infwcted piercing. It isnt anything serious but id see a doc who would give u some antibiotics

Answer #5

That its infected you should clean it.
