So I got this piercing around a month ago and just noticed this yesterday which means this bump is recent. Does anyone have any clues on what it is and what I can do to heal it? Thanks.

I do think it's infected or atleast irritated. Clean it with salt and water and maybe keep hair away from the area to prevent snagging and hair oils getting into the area.

Ohkay a few questions first. Is it pussing? Does it hurt when touched?

I had the same exact bump on my belly button and the way that I got mine to go away was crushing up an aspirin and putting a tony drop of water into it to turn it into a paste, then applying the paste directly onto the bump and letting it dry. You could also use warm salt water and put that directly on it and do it the same amount of times.I did this two to three times a day and after a week or so it went completely away. Do not take out your piercing under any circumstances. Clean it twice a day. Try to keep your hair out of the way so it doesn't irritate it further.

I got the bump on my nose piercing and I just cleaned it eoth saline and applied some tea tree oil and it cleared up in about 4 days.

Might just be a keloid
Put some tea tree oil on it and keep it clean
Do not touch it or pop it

Thanks so much guys! Yeah it doesn't hurt at all and it isn't pussing so I think that's a good sign :)

That is normal, I just had that exactly thing and it should dry and pull away if you look after it, clean it with eucalyptus oil or tea tree oil. And don't touch it until it dries up
