Boil like lump on belly piercing weeping white fluid?

Weird Bumps, Strange Lumps and things that grow out of the holes. Lots of strange bumps and lumps are seen with piercings that have been mistreated and mislabeled. Often as not someone has called them Keloid scars. Well maybe and maybe not. Here's a professional piercers test for you. Keloid scars are the formation of lumps present post surgically and usually in the area of and incision or puncture wound. In piercing this is sometimes cause by trauma to the piercing during it's healing period. The lump or the Keloid is a build up of Collagen and will not dissipate over time but in fact grow in some cases. There is generally no discharge from a Keloid scar. Usually seen in dark skin people, African, Asian. This is not usually common in Caucasian people. However if a person has formed Keloids before they will stand chance of forming them again. Treatment for this condition should be referral to a doctor or medical treatment centre. Hypertrophic scars are the formation of a localized bump at one point or both points of a body piercing and a gooey discharge, but not puss. These are caused by repeated irritation of the tissue entering and exiting the piercing, usually due to the misuse of cleaning products, salts or antibiotic ointments. Treatment of these is simple - irrigation of the area with plenty of clear running water after bathing or showering. The use of cleaning products, ointments or lotions should be terminated during this time. This condition will dry up and improve over the next 3 or 4 days at which point a re-assessment of cleaning procedures, frequency of cleanings and aftercare products should be considered and applied in a conservative manner. Now unless you have seen a keloid or a hypertrophic scar before, chances are you will have no idea what the difference is, but to a properly trained piercer the difference is obvious. Most inexperienced and un-researched piercers will call a hypertrophic scar a keloid; why, I am unsure but they do and most people believe them. Hypertrophic scars are the most common of the batch of lumps and bumps in body piercing, as outlined above it's due to an irritant. These same piercers are the ones recommending contact lens solution for cleaning piercings, Bactine, Epsom Salts, Neosporin, Polysporin, Tea Tree Oil, Betadine and a few other goodies that I just won't bother mentioning. If you remove the irritant the condition will disappear!
