Suggest Treatment For Raised Spot On The Belly After Piercing
I had my belly button pierced in early September and I have had no issues infection wise until now. In between the two holes of the piercing there was a little spot that looked like scar tissue. I noticed that after I had taken a shower, the spot looked like it had risen. However, there was no pus or any other fluid coming from the spot. I looked online and read that I should treat it with rubbing alcohol. Since then, the risen spot has started to scab over. Should I continue to treat this spot as I have been?

Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic
If the area is dry with no discharge or any other symptoms of infection (swelling, increased redness, increased warmth of the area, tenderness) then you can discontinue the use of the alcohol.
If the symptoms are continuing then you can continue using it daily.
I hope this helps
