How to alleviate a keloid from nose piercing?
I have had this nose piercing for almost 1 year. I have had a keloid before (5 mths ago) with this piercing and it went away when I put in a larger gauge (thinner shaft/stem). Now this keloid has appeared out of nowhere and I don't think there is a larger gauge than 18 or 20 and I already have that size in my nose now. Is there any medication to suppress this reaction. Should I change my nose bone or just take it out?
Answers:
You should probably go down a gauge. That happened because you stretched your skin too fast. Go down some guages and see what happens. I'm thinking that the keloid should get smaller but it will take some time.
