    Is this a Keloid? And if so, How do I get rid of it?
    It came up around 2 weeks ago. I got it caught on something and it just poped up the next day or two. I has gotten bigger over time.

    The pic is too blurry and dark to tell, and it might take a dermatologist in person. You say 'it' got caught, so was there a mole or wart under it first? It is most likely harmless but you might as well have it clipped. Ask for the tiny syringe with a small amount of cortisone in it. A doctor clued me in to that years ago. I have tons of moles, tend to keloid scarring, and they itch like crazy without the cortisone in the anesthetic.

    Have you tried using sea-salt soaks or tea-tree oil? They seem to do the trick on most unwanted lumps and bumps on piercings..

    This is a keliod, mine looks exactly the same. I had to take me piercing out because I started to hurt and it grew on the inside also. People told me to use teatree oil so I did and doesn't help at all, I also tried the asprin and water to make a paste but that also failed to help me. Ur best guess would be to take out the piercing and wait it out until it goes away.
