Hypertrophic tissue
My nose was pierced a year before but recently a month before, I took out and inserted my nose ring 3-4 times in and out. Piercing bump came with puss. However that's gone now, but now there's a hypertrophic skin/tissue around my nose piercing hole. It's dark in colour and looking uneven. It's NOT painful. But please help me to get rid of that hypertrophic skin. I want my nose piercing to look all even. Please suggest any ointment or cream.
