Had laparoscopic hysterectomy 5 weeks ago, had infection in belly button, it's still weeping red stuff. is it still infected?

Probably: This fluid sounds like a seroma that occurs with an infection or without during the healing process. You need to contact your MD, as it cannot be determined which is which from this virtual platform.

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?
