Navel piercing discharge
I had my navel pierced just over three weeks ago and over the last few days there has been pale discharge from it, looking online I am unsure if this is an infection with pus or a natural part of the healing process? the belly button area is not sore and there isn't redness

Without examination of the skin condition and knowing the extent of involvement.. along with this more information on ongoing medication or history of previous/current skin/systemic illness it is not possible to comment on the treatment that would suit you best. You should send me images through private online consult for a better assessment of the problem and approaching it accordingly. Hope this is helpful.
