What Could The Piece Of Mass On Navel Piercing Denote?
I got my navel pierced 7 months ago. I have no pain, no infection, no redness, no puss. BUT I just noticed a little piece of meat around the bottom hole. It appears as if my insides are seeping out (sorry for the visual). Do you know if I should be worried?

Hi there.
Thanks for writing in to HCM.
I read your query with interest & have a solution for you.
It does appear to be a case for pyogenic granuloma.
It can easily be addressed by cauterisation by a dermatologist nearest you either by chemical or electrocautery.
There is no cause for undue concern & worry & is a common complication of piercings at any site.
Good Luck & Godspeed!
