A member asked:
The bottom of my belly button piercing has blood/yellow stuff around it. it doesn't hurt unless i touch it. pierced 9 months ago. please help!

Do wound care: The blood/yellow stuff around your piercing is active drainage. It is normal when there is a deep break in the skin. This means that your piercing is not healed. I may be delayed in healing because of a mild infection in the area, it may be because you are allergic to the metal in your ring. Go back to the care instructions given when you had the piercing done.

Infected: It got infected. Use antibiotic ointment, keep area clean.....it will help.
