i have had to take out my beely button ring because i have developed a bump under it. I have an inny and now it looks like an outy. You can still see the iny part, but you have to kinda open it. it feels like there is a ball or something there. what could this be and will it go away?

Dear Melissa,

I have seen this problem several times. It seems that sometimes the bump goes away with warm compresses and other times there was a need for medical attention. I would recommend that you call the facility where you had the piercing done. If it is it red, warm, draining or painful, go see your physcian.
