I got a cartilage piercing w/ a needle 1.5 years ago in order to min. possibility of scarring. I always kept it clean w/ sea salt and was putting dil. tea tree oil on it. At first I thought the bump was temporary but then I came to realize it was probably a hypertrophic scar.I've read all the answers regarding hypertrophic scars but the least expensive options seem are best suited for larger areas. Can I apply silicone sheets to such a small area or are other options more recommended for this?
