Probably: if there is any redness or puss get it looked at right away. Additionally you may be reacting to the type of metal used with the piercing. Some people do much better with gold vs. platinum for example.

I got my belly button pierced 5 months ago. I am starting to notice a small bump with whitish-yellowish pus in it near the hole. I'm not sure if it's infected or if it's apart of the healing process. There is no redness, pain, etc. Just the bump/pus?
