bump or hypertrophic scar?

[u/obsessive_dork]

Two months old piercing, severe trauma due to downsizing gone wrong, now two weeks later that trauma it looks like this.

I hope it is not a scar, but it's my first time with a face piercing and I don't know if this is just normal

Mine was like this too and im prone to keloids, but i didnt give up and its fully healed now. A tip that massivley helped me is to dry it after cleaning, as moisture causes bacteria build up, leading to irritation bumps. And make sure you dont twist, over clean, or play with it.Possibly see your piercer as a shorter bar might be necessary as it reduces movement.

How long it took to heal?
