Hi, I got my belly pierced about 2 years
ago and I've had an on and off problem.
Right at the top of my belly button I have
this purplish bubble next to piercing. It
does not itch or hurt but it just does not
go away.
I have a titanium barbell. Is there any
issue with titanium like there is with
nickel barbell? And is it a hypertrophic
scar or ???
What can I do to get rid of the bubble? I
don't want to get rid of the piercing
but...??
Thanks!

hmmmm maybe blood blister, or some kind of
infection or perhaps some kind of
reaction, even though u had the piercing
for some time u can still develop a
reaction...... keep it clean with peroxied
, and you should see a doctor to be on the
safe side!! good luck, hope all goes
well!!

DO NOT: use rubbing alcohol or hydrogen
peroxide on a piercing!!! This dries it
out!!!
DO: apply sea salt soaks (NOT regular
table salt due to it being iodized)
DO NOT!!!! remove the jewelry from an
infected piercing!!! Go see your piercer!
Removing an infected piercing will TRAP
the infection. This can cause an abcess!
Bad!
Go see your piercer!
Clean the piercing the way they told you
to with the solution they told you to. And
Don't touch it!!!
