What Causes Swelling And Pink Coloured Drainage At The Navel Piercing?

My daughter recently got a belly button piercing. It was healing nicely until she got hit in her belly. Since then it has started draining and is pink and swollen around site of where the piercing is in the navel. No pus or anything like that. Do keloids drain?
