A member asked:

I'm having a hypertrophic scar removed from my nose piercing soon, if i put the ring back in, will the scar tissue build up and make another bubble?

3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Keloid: You may be more prone to abnormal scarring and i would not recommend repiercing the area. Those who don't study history are doomed to repeat it.
