    Hi I really want to know if I have a keloid on my cartilage piercing.
    OK so I got a cartilage piercing about 10 months ago and it developed a large bump like inside the piercing. Recently the bump got bigger and its extremely annoying, I just want to get rid of it.I hate tried salt soaks and aspirin and wearing a sleeper in it but nothing has worked. That's why I'm worried it's a keloid, it kind of feels like a hard ball inside my ear and its freaking me out. I want to get more piercings but I can't until I get rid of this bump. I can barely get the butterfly on the back of my earring any more. Someone please help

    How about visiting your doctor for the best answer to your question? We aren't doctors here and can't examine the bump online. It's best to get information on your particular case from your own medical professional.
