What Is The Cause For A Bubble Underneath The Skin Of My Naval After Getting It Pierced?
I got my belly pierced last year in September and today when I got In the shower my piercing fell out. When I tried to put it back in I noticed this bubble underneath the skin which is stopping the piercing from going in to get in the top opening. What should I do?

Hi,
It may be foriegn body granuloma developed due to metal of piercing material. There may be growth underneath the skin of umbilicus. There may be hypertrophy of fibers leading to granuloma. It might not heal itself. I advise to avoid repiercing the area. Intradermal steroid injection may be tried to reduce the growth. Or it may be removed Surgically under local anaesthesia. You consult dermatologist or surgeon. I hope you got my answer.
Thanks.
