What Soreness And Redness Around Navel After Navel Piercing?
Hi, i have a navel piercing that i took out about 5 years ago. But two weeks ago it suddenly became a little bit sore and reddish. I immediately treated it, and the symptoms went away but now i feel a hard lump under the hole. It does not hurt when i press it. So i dont know what this lump is...

Hello,
That hard lump is nothing but contracted wound scar during its healing process. It is also called as a keloid. Keloids are a type of raised scar. They occur where the skin has healed after an injury. Don't worry it will disappear over the period of time.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
