I'm thinking it's a keloid. I really hope it isn't.
I got my nose done about a month ago. Probably a week an a half after, I almost ripped it out, from the stem getting caught on my towel. A week after that it came out, some how. [I don't even remember how.] Since I got it back in, there was a small bump. Which got a little bigger. And just last Friday, I almost pulled it out again from the stem getting caught on my towel. I would really like to keep my piercing. Can anyone tell me what I should do to get the bump to go away? I try not to touch it... and the only time I do, is when I clean it, and when I push the stud out, just so it won't go in my nose. I've tried cleaning it with antibacterial soap and salt water. I've currently been told to put Vitamin E oil on it, so I am, but I haven't seen any improvement. I've also been told to 'pop' it and put peroxide on it. But... I'm scared to do that...

Is it a Keloid?
