A member asked:
I got my belly button pierced a week ago and the entrance where the piercing is in my skin, its white and kinda reddish. is that normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Normal/abnormal: At least inflammation is to be expected with any foreign body that comes in contact with a wound. Sometimes the healing process may go towards an infection or a significant scar such as a hypertrophic scar or keloid. See your doc if your wound is not progressing towards healing.
