If you haven't already, go to a dermatologist to make sure it really is a keloid.

If it is a keloid it can be surgically removed followed by steroid injections to try to keep it from coming back. The risk of surgery is that if you get another keloid it may be larger than the one that was removed.

Keloids are one of the risks of piercing.

It could be an infection, a boil, or an ordianary but lhicker than usual scar.

A dermatologist can determine exactly what you have, your prognosis, and possible treatments.

you can actually crush up an aspirin tablet and wet a Qtip and put the paste around the piercing area. I did it with mine, and it cleared it up dramitically.
