    Is this a keloid on my nose piercing?
    So I got my nose pierced about 4 odd weeks ago and this happened. I think it might be because I tried to put a ring in it too early and it got snagged a couple of times which hurt quite a lot. Could this be a keloid? Or is it just scarred tissue? If it is just scarred tissue then how could I go about getting rid of it and keeping my nose piercing?

    Many thanks, this has me quite worried.

    P.s There isn't any ''advanced mode'' or paper clip to click on to attach a file so here's a link instead.

    This may be the sign of an infection because I had something like this but I caught mine when it was a little smaller.. what you should do it get the stuff you clean your piercing with or a salt solution and dip a cotton wool bud in it and get surgical tape and tape it over it for over night and it should be a little btter in the morning, and do it for the next two nights and it should have cleared up, it really helped mine! Hope this helps - rosanna
