Asked By:virtualgirl1989 in Seattle, WA

Hi I just had a baby 3 monthe ago and my naval piercing I have is getting huge. I actually took my belly button ring out because I'm afraid my skin is actually going to rip through. Is there a procedure I can go through to just get rid of my belly button ring hole all together? And will there leave a scar or will that heal in time?
