What can you use to closing up a body piercing with minimal scarring?

Piercing scar: First remove the jewelry and allow the hole to shrink. If it is still unacceptable then see a doctor about your options. Board-certified plastic surgeons frequently treat these conditions.

Leave it alone: In most cases, piercing will close on their own when left alone. Good luck from nyc.
