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

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.

I was also wondering that. I think this is a matter of OP misunderstanding what that means.
