Cartilage Piercings....

Has anyone ever removed theirs???

I took out my nose ring because it kept getting caught on everything, Ais would hook it. The jewel kept falling out, and I had to keep changing it....

And Neil has never really liked it.......

I currently have a little purple circle where it was, and a bit of a bump.

I have been polysporin ing it, in an attempt to ward off infection and hopefully keep it moist so it doesn't scar as bad.
I have also not worn make up or anything on it... and been careful with my scrubbing beads!!!

Will I end up with a scar???
And how long will it take for the skin to close well enough for make up?

Mine didn't leave a scar when I took it out. I can't say about the make up since I don't wear it, but I can't imagine it would take long.

I got a bump once, I just used antibacterial hand soap and it went away in a couple days.

I had an industrial in my ear and had to remove it for work and I thought Noah might have a field day with it once he made his arrival. There's a little bump healing where the hole was but I have noticed it getting better progressively.
