What Causes A Hard Lump On The Belly Button?
Hi, I have my belly button pierced and I noticed that I have a hardish lump that's red and a little blue beside it. I'm not sure if it's a reaction to the piercing or an absess. it's kinda tender and it just makes me nervous not knowing how to treat it.

welcome to Health care magic.
1.It seems like an infection post piercing.
2.Needs to be evaluated as it could complicate if its infection.
3.Get an appointment and request for an ultrasound scan done, which will evaluate how deep it is and what it is coming from / contents of the lump.
4.Hernia are also expected there, but your symptoms don't sutes here.
5.Hope it helps you.
Anything to ask ? do not hesitate. Thank you.
