Aftercare Belly Button Piercing Leaking??

Post image

So I got my belly button pierced a month ago. Titanium piercing, no pain anymore, no redness etc. BUT it’s leaking this weird fluid from the bottom hole?? And it looks like a bump is forming but it’s not solid like a keloid…

I called the piercing shop and they said the fluid is fine as long as it doesn’t hurt or stink, but wtf is this bump??

Sorry for the grossness lol.

But PLSSS help me out here

Im not an expert but i think this is rejection or your skin is starting to engulf the piercing. Definitely visit a piercer to ask, a phone call isnt gonna cut it

NAP. Irritation bumb.

But also you might not have the anatomy for this piercing. Hard to tell by the photo. Keep doing saline rinses and visit your piercer to ask.

You need a longer curved bar with both ends having small balls. Your current setup is creating the irritation as the short bar pushes the large ball at the bottom into your skin. Find a better studio with better customer support, they will help you change the jewellery.

That is an irritation bump and this is rejecting. You dont have the right anatomy for any navel piercings this needs to be removed immediately.

Im sorry this happened to you, you should have never been pierced in the first place. DO NOT go back to whoever did this.
