A member asked:

I took of my piercing one and a halve year ago and now tiny red bumps appeared on it? and yellowish clear liquid come out of them the area is swollen?

See a doctor: This sounds as if it is either infected or you left material at the site when you removed the piercing and you are now reacting to it. In either event it needs to be examined and dealt with by a professional.
