i've gotten my ears pierced like 2 months ago and i haven't done a good job of cleaning it...and today i noticed a very small keloid on one of the holes in my ear...is there a way to prevent it from getting bigger? And did the keloid appear because i haven't been cleaning my ears as often as i was told to clean them?
What causes keloids?
----Etc.. Another thing that can go wrong is that scar tissue can form (a "keloid"). Etc... (see first link)
----Flattening Elevated Scars
Cryosurgery (freezing with liquid nitrogen) shrinks some scars.
Acne scars are most amenable to this method.
Injecting corticosteroids flattens stiff scars ("keloids"), by softening them.
Application of softening creams. Etc...(see second link)
***I hope this helps answers all your questions. :)
