What are my options to minimize the appearance of scarring above my belly button? (photos)

Asked By:Mommymadeover6 in Overland Park, KS

It was pierced and ripped out, like completely through. Then it was pierced again to try to hide the scar from the first piercing and that one also ripped through. Now it's an even bigger scar and it looks like a butthole above my belly button. What would be the best treatment for this?
