I got my belly button pierced 3 months ago and it had black/purple rising around it and the bottom hole has bump .. when will the color change ?

It may not. Keloid?: While it may be bruising, you may be getting a keloid reaction to the piercing. In this forum it will be difficult to ascertain. In keloids, the color change may be permanent. Talk to your doctor or a plastic surgeon about what to do about the "bump". Or use HealthTap Prime. In either case, you should probably avoid piercings in the future (anywhere on your body) as it can cause the same reaction.
