you'll need to wait for it to heal before having it repierced but you could go back to the studio and see if it's possible for them just to taper the existing hole back open.

patience is a virtue though and this is why piercings shouldn't be considered temporary!

i imagine a dermatologist is likely to just tell you to wait for it to fade..

trust me it is very obvious, the flash from my camera is making it appear lighter than it is. im going to use mederma to see if it helps, ill come back and post with any results just in case someone else has this problem too, if it doesnt help guess im off to a dermatologist.......

i wouldn't bother with tea tree oil. it's really just to help flush the lymph out. i'm not sure if mederma can be use on the face or if it would make much of a difference. it's still a new scar so there's still plenty of time for it to fade. to be honest, it's not that obvious. it just seems that way because you know it's there!

Do you think a product like Mederma would work on it?

im going to start the soaks back...

your piercer essentially stretched the piercing with the jewellery, which he shouldn't really have done and that's most likely what caused the issue. i'm not really sure why you kept the ring in for 5 more months instead of switching back but what's done is done. it's unlikely that it's fully closed so chances are, if you put a stud in you would still have a piercing.

if however you do want to just fully retire it, the scarring will go down over time but the...

ok so ill try to be brief. i had my nose pierced for 4 years, no problems. 5 months ago i decided since id never worn a hoop that i wanted one. i went to a shop, the piercer said since i was wearing cheap crappy jewerly(little fake diamond studs from Hot Topic) that my hole was supper small now and that he would use the smallest gauged hoop but it was going to hurt. and it did, he had to manhandle my nose to get it in. 1 week later i get the infamous BUMP, i found this site and followed the...
