What Causes A Lump In The Navel After Getting It Pierced?

To whom it may concern, Im a female who has recently gotten her navel pierced 3 months ago. Everything has been fine with the healing process until now. I seemed to have developed some sort of lump or mass located above the top ball of the piercing. Could it be just trying to develop scar tissue or could it be something i need to go to the hospital for. It is pinkish red and warm to the touch. It also has been slightly painful, but no discharge of anykind. Thank you.

Hello dear ,So a lump after piercing is a kind of hypertrophic scar or keloid. It will remain there and won't cause any harm.
thanks
