Piercing scars

[demolition_lover88]

Does anyone have any tips on how to get my piercing scars to fade faster?

 

Last year i took out my modifications. I had 7 piercings on my face, including a bridge piercing. I also had a cleavage piercing and two hip piercings. I took them out when i met my current partner. I felt like i'd outgrown them. Now i have nasty scars and its making me self conscious.

i don't think you can get rid of scar tissue like this. you put a hole in your body.

Try Mederma or the like...it is a cream you can use to decrease the appearance of scars.

Well, scars tend to well....be permanent. Over years they can fade, but often they remain.

 

There are some treatments aimed to reduce the appearance of them (and some creams - but not sure how well they work) and surgery can often just make scars worse.

 

That's one of the side effects of piercing

If the creams and such don't work and you have a lot of extra money, there's always cosmetic surgery but it's costly and invasive.

I have tried mederma and it only reduces the scars a small bit most are still noticeable. They will fade over time but I still have a pretty nasty scar where I had my bridge piercing and have three visible scars on my lip where I had my two labrets and lip piercing and its been over 3 years since I took them out. One of the labret holes is still indented with a nice hole. Not much else you can do to reduce the scars except give it time and deal with them.
