Ice down twice daily for 10 mins , then apply a dab of Vaseline and rub in gently but well. May take up to 3 moths for bump to fade away

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?
