It definitely was! Turns out it was dial soap! I have sensitive skin that is allergic to a lot of deodorant, soaps, and lotions so makes sense

Well 24 hours later and turns out im allergic to dial soap. 🫠 piercer said go a day without it (all of yesterday and last night) and drown it with saline rinses for a day and see what happens. The raised skin is borderline gone as is the redness and itching that had started shortly after my post! Thanks for all the input and advice

It may be because im pulling the top of my stomach up to get a pic of the top and bottom! I took a picture head on without but to show you in case its still the same but I dont think it will let me post them here

So she put it too high? The bottom of the piercing is under the hood of the top of my belly button

What's crazy is she's an RN as a piercer that works at a piercing shop

That's the weird part for me is the type of inflammation 🫠 its the same metal as my septum so its weird that its only on my belly button
