Keloid shrinking

2018-09-03 04:31:49
Bump above nose hole where I got my nose pierced. Was pierced 2 weeks ago. Have been cleaning my piercing hole twice daily with a combination of warm water and salt, and piercing aftercare lotion. I try my best not to move the ring and keep my fingers away from it. The bump(according to researching online-is a keloid). I’m wondering if there is ways I can shrink the bump? The bump is only a little itchy once in awhile.
