A member asked:
Would it hurt badly to get a piercing in a scar tissue?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Piercing a scar: I advise against any piercings through existing clinically significant scar tissue. Scar tissue is less pliant has poor circulation and poorer healing which could open the door to imperfection or eroding through the piercing.
