    i had my tragus pierced a littel over a month ago and i was told when i went back to get it checked, the lil bump that was growing net to the pierce was a keloid.

    i was told to do two sea salt soaks daily...and it might go away

    has anyone had a keloid and how did you deal with it. does taking out teh jewellery help? it is small but i have heard keloids grow and im freaking out here.

    i don't know all that much about piercings but my old friend just had one in her mouth go real bad and she was in the hospital(not to freak you out) but you should go to the docter/hospital. . .it's better to be safe then sorry

    goodluck,
    Auna

    ok first of all, dont take out your piercing. i have numerous bumps on my cartilage, my rook, and my nose and my piercings have always worked out. continue cleaning it and doing sea salt soaks but dont overdue it. second of all, go to a piercer, a professional one and talk to them, they will give u the best advice.
