Answers:
it's scar tissue, and trust me i know what that's like!. i have one big scar on my bellybutton from my piercing rejecting itself!. unfortunately!? there's nothing you can do about it, unless you have surgery!. but also, you should make sure that there's not an infection UNDER the healed skin, because that could cause problems later on, even if it is healed, the infection can still be living!. i recommend going to the doctor about it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

About a month ago or a little more I pierced the part of my ear that is opposite the lobe where there is cartilage (the "tragus")!.Sorry, scar tissue is something you are stuck with!. It is second rate skin - cleaning it will not help, as the top layer of skin is already dead, and it would be a very bad idea to try removing it!. Plastic surgery may help - worth asking your doctor!.So unfourtunatley your stuck with it just like me unless of plastic surgery!.Good Luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com
