    Yeah you can get rid of it, but it doesn't always work, depending on the age of the keloid.

    You need to bathe it regularly in warm salt water, and apply diluted tea tree oil to it, because this is an antiseptic and helps it to go down. This is all I did when I got a keloid on an old cartilage piercing and after doing this twice a day for a week it disappeared. Good luck

    Just try cleaning it with warm salty water and see how that goes, it could be infected. You might have to go to the doctor.
