I think my belly button might be infected?!


Question:

I think my belly button might be infected?

I've had it pierced since Dec of 06. & I just now realized there was like a red bump looking thing on the bottom hole thats in the naval but it doesnt hurt it only bleeds a little. Is it infected?


Answers:

Six months later you're still having bleeding? Might be a cyst. Is there inflammation or swelling (which are chronic signs of infection) or does it feel 'warm' to the touch compared to the surrounding tissue (another indication of infection). If so, see a doctor.
