I don't know how to get rid of the mark nor what to do. This is my fist ever piercing and i just want the mark to go away. If you have any suggestions or have had experience with this please help! Thanks~VG
Firstly, try not to worry! How has the piercing itself healed? As long as there are no signs of infection, this could be quite normal due to the location and difficulty of cleaning this area. If you can manage to take the piercing jewelry out, you may have a better chance at lathering up and removing the mark. It could possibly be from a permanent marker, which is often used to denote the point of piercing just before it's done. If you have any problems taking it out, or the mark is persistent even after trying the above step, then please go back to the studio and ask their advice. If they are a reputable studio, they will not mind allaying any concerns. Or a visit to your doctor may help put your mind at ease. Good luck!
