Hi everyone. I have been massaging my lobes to get rid of scar tissue from old self done 2nds and 3rds piercings that were also badly cared for and of course terribly placed. I have been using Holy Butt'r sometimes and Jojoba other times, I'm vegan so I only use plant based stuff. The problem is that the massaging seems to be making the raised scar tissue around the old piercing on my 2nds MORE prominent instead of less (it even looks a bit cat buttish!! 
), like it is spreading out and it feels like it is spreading out too when I roll it between my fingers. Is this a stage they go through before getting less noticable, has anyone else experienced this? I would like to reduce these scars as much as possible and am thinking of getting 2nds done again in a better placement but don't want them to draw attention to the scars. I have posted a pic below in which you can see the scars, I can't find a before and after shot to show the difference though.
Perhaps this is a better pic:
