Blood clot around my navel pircing?

[CheeseLoveWhiz]

I have had my piercing for 2 months now and it started hurting again recently and now I have a blood clot and it won't come off when I wipe it. my skin is raw on the bottom half and the top is perfectly fine. Is this normal? I tried to Google it and I couldn't find much. It burns when I use soap now.

if you have a keloid remove the piercing and let it heal and don't pierce it again. keloid is when your body can't do normal scars and if you have the piercing in it will scar and scar and scar cause it tries to heal itself but it can't cause of the piercing so you will end up having a big bump. And it seems like you have an aggresive case cause you get it so far down on the body most get it somewhere inbetween head and chest.

Well, people with darker skin get it more commonly on the body.

could be the case, I saw pictures of someone having it under their feet and he had darker skin. did you remove the piercing?

I'd take it out and let it heal, sounds like it might be an infection. How do you know you have a blood clot?

I called the piercing shop today and he said it was a keloid.

Did he say what you should do?

To put vitamin E on it or crushed Advil on it.
