about a year ago i was being stupid, so i pierced by belly button by myself, and i had it on for about half a year, but then my stupid friends kept poking me, and it wanted to rip off, then i took it off...
now theres a scar on my belly, and i know i shouldve put medication on it when the wound was still fresh, but now the scar is old, do you recomend any medication, or what you used to get an old scar healed?

An old scar that is bothersome (particularly if it is small) can be revised by a simple operation in an office under local. Other treatments will likely not be effective.

normally the body stops collagen production in a healing scar when an adequate strength is obtained.
every person heals differently and at different rates.
in your case you can try covering the sar with a silicon dressing or a piece of tape , applying pressure, and injecting the steroid into the scar. this is the most common techniqes used in scar management. laser and scar excision and re healing are also widely used.
