My navel piercing has a purple circle around it looking like an ident and now there is a white circle around it. (painless) is this normal, how do i fix it?

During the healing process, scar tissue can form which looks a little discolored and may even have a white area where there is decreased blood flow. This should resolve in a few weeks. Watch for outwardly spreading redness or discharge which can both indicate infection.
