text: You can go back to the business that did the piercing and ask their advice.  Most reputable places are open to questions/concerns after a piercing or tattoo.  My belly piercing took a long time to heal, but it was never infected.\nThis is from a site:\n"During the entire healing period, the jewelry should remain in place to act as a drain. If the jewelry is too large to allow adequate drainage, it could be replaced with a smaller size by a piercing professional. Removing your jewelry prematurely can cause an infected hole to close up, trapping an infection and leading to complications requiring a medical professional. If you feel that the normal secretion is turning into a thicker and darker discharge, please do not hesitate to contact your physician for more advanced treatment (e.g., antibiotics)."  http://www.tribalectic.com/NavelJewelryAftercare.asp\n\nSounds like you need to have a doctor look at it.
