Could be: bacterial or viral infection. Anything on the nose could spread directly to brain, so he needs immediate medical attention. Get him to a doctor asap.

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?
