How to Remove Nose Crater and Stain? (photo)

bjamie
I pierced my nose about 3 years ago and I've recently outgrown it. I took it out and I am left with a gray stain (which I believe may be Argyria) and a crater. It's embarrassing having both. While I know that the gray stain is irreversible, I would like to at least fade it or fill in the crater. What should I do?
