Hi,

Well, it is very clear from your explanation that the yellow discharge and pus from the piercing is due to infection.

You can consult a Physician and get evaluated. A course of antibiotics and topical application of antibiotic ointment like Fucibact can be done.

A surgical pin can be placed in the piercing as it will help in avoiding infection and healing better.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Honey Arora,
