What Causes Swelling And Pink Coloured Drainage At The Navel Piercing?

My daughter recently got a belly button piercing. It was healing nicely until she got hit in her belly. Since then it has started draining and is pink and swollen around site of where the piercing is in the navel. No pus or anything like that. Do keloids drain?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, in such piercing chances of infection may be very likely and care need to be taken for that, in my opinion condition can be well treated with "Tab Ibuprofen 400 mg three times in day" for local application "Povidone iodine" can be used, hope this information helps, take care.
