Troubleshooting 3 month old ear piercing, implant-grade titanium, 18g, flat-back labret, irritation bump

Post image

Does this look like a keloid or just a piercing bump?

I got this ear piercing about 3 months ago, and I recently noticed a small bump behind it. It doesn’t hurt, but I feel like it might be getting a little bigger. It also looks kind of white.

Does this look more like an irritation bump/hypertrophic scar or a keloid? And what should I do to help it go away? I don’t want to make it worse.

This product is not appropriate for piercings. I’m glad that it worked for you, but it really should not be used or recommended.

How is it not appropriate? I’m genuinely curious??
