    Belly button.
    Okay. I've had my belly button done for about a month. There is a little bubble thing coming up on it. I'm scared because I don't know what it is. What should I do? Help!

    Is it painful or does it drain any fluid or pus? If not it is most likely a keloid (scar tissue) which are common. If it is painful to touch or is draining it could be an infection. If it is painful and draining, clean it often (2-3/day) and soak in sea salt. Try to use antimicrobial soaps. If it doesn't clear up after a week, you need to call your doctor to be sure it isn't a more serious infection or a sebaceous cyst. Good luck.
