How can I remove this piercing scar? (photo)

Asked By:RSMember16854 in Colorado Springs, CO

I got a Monroe piercing when I was in high school and it’s left a pretty deep scar. Is there any procedures that could get rid of this? I’ve heard of something called a “punch biopsy”. Would this be the best procedure?
