A member asked:
How can i decrease scar tissue left resulting from removal of a nipple piercing? will silicone strips help?

Minimize scarring: If the wound is relatively new, keeping it moist and covered will help minimize scarring. If the scar is over 2 yrs old, you may want to see a dermatologist. Cortisone injections into the scar site have had good results in minimizing them.
