What Are The Causes And Treatment For Puss Filled Bump
I got the bottom of my belly button pierced in June. It was healed but just recently I noticed a hard bump under my skin right next to it. Yellow puss and some blood come out, is this an abscess and is there something I should do while I wait for my next doctors appointment?

Hi,welcome to healthcare magic forum.
Your description points towards an abscess.It needs incision and drainage.Then only,antibiotics can act.If you have a delay for your appointment,you apply osmotic agents like magnesium sulfate paste,and start antibiotics and analgesics(i usually gives amoxycillin+cloxacillin to my patients),gently express out any pus,and keep the area clean.
Hope you will find this information useful.Thank you.
