Keloid on nose piercing

Asked Feb 18, 2009, 10:43 PM — 1 Answer
I got my nose pierced a little over a month ago, and for the past couple weeks there has been a lump on it. It started off as what I thought was a pimple, because it had white pus inside that I could pop out. But now it is just a red lump almost like a blood blister. I can squeeze blood out of it but the lump never goes away. I think it may be a Keloid and I'm wondering: Is there any way I can get rid of it?

I have some great advice from a Ask Me Help Desk User regarding how to take care of the scar tissue.

The Association of Professional Piercers also has a great brochure to help people with piercing after care.
