ring in for a year and a half and just a few months ago I noticed that there was a dark gray stain around the hole. I took the piercing out a couple of months ago and the stain is still there. Is there anything I can do to get rid of it??
You should apply calamine lotion at the site and consult your doctor or skin specialist about whether steroid creams are required for local application to the site.
