I had gotten my belly button pierced wrong , it was slightly cricked and close to the edge of my skin . About 5 or 6 months after I got pregnant and I just took out my piercing . And through my pregnancy the skin in from of the hole had stretch out and now it's shribbled up. Is there anyway I could improve how it looks ? Should I just get the bit of skin removed ? What should I do ?
