Reducing scar tissue on piercings?
 

I've got my nips pierced, have had em for about 4 years now....

About 3 years ago, I almost ripped one out, when it got caught on someone elses jewelry... =/

So, now one side of my nipple is a bit puffier than the other, and I can feel the scar tissue underneath the skin...

Is there anything like those scar creams, that will work on this in the least bit?

Ya, I'm a vain pussy.

I dont think there's anything that will help sub-dermally. I had my eyebrow piercing ripped out, and there is still scar tissue under the skin -- no hair will grow there.

If its the puffiness you're worried about - get some nipple shields - no one will ever notice :winkwink:

rip that part gently, if it bleeds, hold your breath... then disinfect it, and use all the shit that u have to use when u pierce them at the first time: vaseline, salt water, keep in moistured for a couple of days, etc

I took my nipple piercings out about 2 years ago... I have 2 nice round scars on each nipple now to show for it. =/ I thought it was a good idea at the time, but nowadays I wih I hadn't done it. I should have known I'd outgrow it.

but anyways, regarding your question, I'll be watching for an answer, too.

I did professional body modification (piercing) for a year and a half. Unfortunately the only way to get rid of scaring is with some expensive plastic surgery. Cutting it, poking at it, whatever will just make it worse.

the only thing u can try is a vitamin e cream. unfortunately it doesnt work all that good

Vitamin E Capsules heal scar tissue on the inside :thumbsup

What's up DK?

hiyas Candice. =)

I'm not sure. You better see a doctor or something, that might puff out really big.

Cut your nipples off with a dull knife

I had an eyebrow piercing for a few years and it eventually got ripped out, that and the fact that I had a huge spikey thing on it. It left a little red line and was abit hard for a while but it's gone now. Just give it time. Nipples are pink anyway so the colour wont be a problem, as for being tougher, nipples are a bit firmer anyway, so it shouldn't be a prob.

Go see a doctor to clear things up.

Yeah thats the exact same thing that happened to me...probably the single most inconvenient piercing I've ever had. I swear I'd catch it every single time I put on a shirt, which hurt like a bitch -- but ironically it ripped out in my sleep and I didn't even feel a thing :1orglaugh
