Hello, I received a naval piercing about 5 days ago and it seemed ok no pain, swelling, and just a little itching no other setbacks until I woke up yesterday and there were tiny bumps around the piercing and in my naval. Is my piercing infected?

Dear Jenny,
If there are many tiny bumps it may be some type of allergic reaction. If there is pus, swelling, redness or heat it may be an infection. I would call the facility where you received the piercing and check with them first. If you continue to have the problem or it gets worse contact your physician.

Good Luck,
Nurselady
