Will a nose piercing close scar or stay open if you decide do not want it anymore?

If you remove the piercing and leave it, the piercing hole may gradually shrink and eventually close over time.

However, the speed at which it closes and whether it leaves a scar depend on various factors, including:

1. Individual healing: Everyone's body heals differently, so the timing and degree of scar formation can vary from person to person.

2. Piercing location: Nose piercings in certain areas, such as the nostril, may be more visible than others when they close.

3. Piercing duration: Leaving the piercing in for a longer period can result in a more noticeable mark when you take it out.

4. Piercing removal process: Proper removal techniques that minimize tissue damage can reduce scarring probabilities.

To ensure proper healing and minimize scarring, follow these steps to take out your nose piercing and take care of your skin as it closes:

Step 1: Clean your hands and the piercing site.

Step 2: Sterilize the jewelry's clasp.

Step 3: Gently remove the jewelry by opening the clasp or unscrewing the ball.

Step 4: After removing the jewelry, apply gentle pressure to the area for a few minutes, which can help stop any bleeding.

Step 5: Clean the area regularly with saline solution and follow any aftercare instructions provided by your piercer.
