    Do I have a cartilage bump or is it a keloid
    I got my ear pierced a few days before thanksgiving. Its been almost 4 weeks and about two weeks ago a bump on top of my piercing formed. It hurts when I touch it. It it a keloid? Or is it just a bump? I'm kind of scared and thinking about taking the earing out should I?
