Yes it usually will heal just fine. However keep an eye on it and if it doesnt seem to be getting better you may have to put a collar on him to stop him from licking it. In this case you may be wise to seek some veterinary advice.

Why would an ex that you treated badly tell you they don't wont to even be your friend as you remind them of negative and that they feel hate for you and is this because they still adore you?

If you treated them badly, then they clearly are trying to heal and the only way to heal is not to see you! Try and understand her perspective, she is hurting in so many ways - from the memories of how you treated her and the break up. If you keep trying to be her "friend" she will never heal, never move on, and will hurt for a long time. Its time YOU let go, and let her go!

If its new, it'll heal over relatively fast. If it's older, it may or may not heal over. Its pretty common for the inside to heal and the outside to still look open. Just depends. If you want to keep it open, the best way to do that is to always wear jewelry in it.
