Belly piercing abnormality
I got my belly button pierced 5 months ago. The place I went to was safe, clean, and the instruments used for piercing were properly packaged. My mom got hers done as well and nothing is wrong with her piercing. At the bottom part of my piercing a notch or nob of skin has grown that is constantly flaking, pussing, and generally gross and awful. I know five people who have there belly buttons pierced at this place and this has never happened. I have no idea what is wrong but I know this isn't normal.
Anyone know what I should do?

It sounds like its infected. did you not get that cleaning stuff for it. It might be because you have messed with it too much.
yuo can go back to the place and have them look at it. you may have a small infection in which i would tell you to use the bactine spray 2 times a day and make sure you also wahs it with dial soap 2 times a day. That is how i got my belly button peircing to heal years ago.
