Keloids don't usually develop overnight, it sounds to me like you have an infection. You need to take the piercing out and clean your ear with hydrogen peroxide. If its gets any worse or starts to feel painful or warm you'll want to see a doctor for some antibiotics. Don't put the piercing back in right away, give your ear time to recover. And when you do put it back in, make sure you clean both your ear and the piercing daily!
