Navel piercing is 5 months old, it has a purple circle around it and a white circle within that which looks indented from the ball. is it rejecting? (painless) there is also sometimes strings of blood randomly that poke out holes?

If the discoloration is not getting better, have your doctor take a look at it to make sure you are not developing an infection. If it becomes painful and/or if you see pus coming out of it, then remove the piercing and treat it with antibacterial ointment. For now, you can out antibacterial ointment on it while it heals. Good luck!
