Many people say they have a keloid at the site of the piercing, however, you are unlikely to develop a keloid scar if you have never had the experience of keloid formation on any other wound.
Keloids are pretty much a genetic problem, so it’s a good idea to make sure you’re not prone to keloids before getting pierced. If you have a keloid tendency, it is best to avoid piercings, tattoos, and other surgeries that you do not need.
To prevent keloid scarring from forming after minor skin trauma, start treatment right away. If you notice a thickened post-surgical scar, start keloid treatment right away to prevent keloids. Surgeons may use a technique to reduce the likelihood of keloid scarring after surgery. If you need surgery, especially in areas that are more prone to scarring, make sure your doctor knows you may have keloids.
If you are more likely to develop keloids, you should avoid skin injuries, ear piercings, and surgery as much as possible. If you are prone to keloid scars, you should be vigilant and take steps to prevent these scars from forming. If you decide to risk getting a tattoo or piercing, be aware that you may end up with excessive scarring and/or keloids. It is best to avoid scarring on the skin by avoiding piercings, tattoos, elective surgery, and some laser treatments.

If you’re primarily trying to prevent the development of keloids, McGregor suggests looking into your family or personal history of keloids to help prevent injury or skin damage. The AAD recommends that people who know they are prone to keloids avoid piercings. If you have a history of keloids, please inform your piercer before doing any piercing.
Puncture guns can cause scarring, especially in cartilage, so always choose a puncture with a needle over a puncture gun. When pierced by a professional such as Pierced. co, the risk of scarring can be greatly reduced, but whenever the skin is physically damaged, there is always the possibility of scarring and scar tissue forming during the healing process. Not all scars are the same, and keloids can be the unfortunate result of a perforation. Keloid scars are visible scars that can form during the healing process after a puncture.
Ear keloids are notoriously difficult to treat, as surgical removal (excision) can lead to recurrent keloid scars up to 80% of the time. Ear keloids are caused by excessive scar tissue formation due to skin lesions. A keloid is formed when the body produces too much collagen during healing. A keloid (say, “KEE-faithful”) is a scar that becomes larger and wider than the original lesion.
A keloid is a raised scar that appears when the skin heals after an injury. Additional scar tissue grows after an injury, creating smooth, hard, raised areas. Keloid scars vary in size but are usually painless and contain nothing but scar tissue.
Keloids grow because the body is overprotective against physical injury, surgery, or skin damage. Keloids can also develop after piercings, tattoos, or surgery. Keloids can take years to grow and sometimes appear three months or more after injury. A keloid is a scar tissue growing at the site of a previous injury, characterized by excess collagen deposition in the dermis during wound healing.
A keloid is a raised scar that results from injury or damage to the skin. Keloids can occur with any type of piercing, they occur after skin abrasion. Keloids are small bumps that appear around the puncture site, usually at the entrance or exit of the puncture.
Keloid is the most commonly used slang term, while hypertrophic scar tissue is a more technical term. Keloids can form where the skin is damaged, such as from a surgical cut, piercing, burns, chickenpox, or acne. Keloids grow outside of the original wound, in contrast to hypertrophic scars, which look like raised scars but do not grow like keloids. Both are caused by excess scar tissue, but keloids grow outside the wound and invade the surrounding skin.
Keloids (KEY-loids) are red scars caused by over-healing skin wounds (eg, burns, cuts, acne). They can develop after very light skin lesions, such as acne or piercings, and spread beyond the original area of the skin injury. They can occur in the earlobes, skin, and cartilage above the ear. Ear keloids are hard, elastic, fibrous bumps that form on the ear after minor trauma, most commonly after an ear-piercing.
Of these, it is assumed that the lobular keloid occurs after inflammation after ear piercing. The results of our study suggest that the etiological factors of the lobular keloid are tissue inflammation secondary to the piercing medium of the non-sterile ear. The etiological factors of keloids include skin damage (operations, lacerations, tattoos, burns, injections, and prophylactic vaccinations), excessive skin tension, and hormonal factors. Lobular keloid appears to be a consequence of hypertrophic inflammation secondary to ear piercing performed under non-sterile conditions.
In this section, we will explain what bumps and keloids are and how to tell them apart. We’ll also discuss treatment options for both conditions, as well as other conditions that can cause skin problems after piercing.
While piercing bumps and keloids may look the same at first glance, there are ways to tell them apart.
How to tell the difference ?
Keloids and piercing tubercles may look the same at first. Punctures can occur for a variety of reasons, including allergies, genetics, poor after-sales service, irritation, injury from knocks or knocks, or just plain bad luck.
Some people are more prone to scarring due to skin type, genetics or age.
Preventing Hypertrophic Scars
Avoiding hypertrophic scars may be impossible because certain factors are purely genetic. However, there are steps you can take to reduce the risk of hypertrophic scarring as your perforation heals.
Until the initial puncture wound has healed, trying to heal the scar can make the situation worse. This can happen if you continue to touch the piercing as it heals. Or it could be due to the placement of the piercing and the area of the body where it is located.
When the area around the piercing is sore, oozes pus, and/or bleeds, it is not keloid; it is probably an infection or atheroma. When you repeatedly break the scab, scar tissue begins to form on your body, which can continue to accumulate and ooze from the top and bottom of the piercing.
