Keloid on my ear

2020-08-20 15:41:56
I have developed a keloid on my upper ear after about 2 years of getting it pierced. It stopped growing when I removed my earring. Will this happen again if I get my ears pierced?

It can happen again as you have keloidal tendency. Do not get piercing done again. You can get a keloid excised. Visit a dermatologist in your area for that

Looks like you have a keloid tendency. It can happen again. We can treat keloids. But better use some non piercing earrings.
