A piercing bump is typically a localized infection, a small raised area around the site of the piercing that can become red and irritated. It can form due to poor aftercare, jewelry irritation, or an allergic reaction. On the other hand, a keloid is a type of raised scar that can form anywhere on the body, including at the site of a piercing. Keloids can be much larger than the original wound and are caused by an overgrowth of scar tissue. They may appear shiny, feel hard, and can be pink, red, or darker than the surrounding skin.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Can_a_piercing_bump_turn_into_a_keloid\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Can a piercing bump turn into a keloid?<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While both piercing bumps and keloids can occur following a piercing, a piercing bump does not typically “turn into” a keloid. These are two distinct conditions with different causes. A piercing bump is usually temporary and can resolve with proper aftercare. A keloid, however, is a more permanent type of scar tissue growth that often requires medical treatment to reduce or remove.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"How_do_I_know_if_my_piercing_bump_is_a_keloid\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How do I know if my piercing bump is a keloid?<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Identifying a keloid involves observing its characteristics. Keloids tend to be larger than the original wound, may continue to grow over time, and can take on a smooth, shiny appearance. They may also be accompanied by discomfort, itching, or even pain. If you’re uncertain whether your piercing bump is a keloid, it’s advisable to consult with a dermatologist or another medical professional for an accurate diagnosis.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"What_treatments_are_available_for_piercing_bumps_and_keloids\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What treatments are available for piercing bumps and keloids?<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The treatment for a piercing bump generally involves proper aftercare, which can include cleaning the area with saline solution, avoiding unnecessary irritation, and possibly changing the jewelry. In some cases, antibiotic treatments may be required. For keloids, various treatments are available, including corticosteroid injections, laser therapy, surgical removal, and silicone sheets or gels. Each of these methods aims to reduce the size and appearance of the keloid.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Can_I_prevent_piercing_bumps_and_keloids\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Can I prevent piercing bumps and keloids?<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes, there are ways to reduce the risk of developing piercing bumps and keloids. Ensuring that your piercing is performed by a professional piercer using sterile equipment can help prevent infection, which can lead to piercing bumps. Aftercare is also critical: clean the piercing site regularly, avoid unnecessary irritation, and choose hypoallergenic jewelry. If you’re prone to keloids, you may want to reconsider getting a piercing, as this can trigger keloid formation.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Interesting_Info\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Interesting Info<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1: Keloids are more common in individuals with darker skin, with rates in people of African, Hispanic, and Asian descent being 15 times higher than in people with lighter skin.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2: According to the American Osteopathic College of Dermatology, up to 10% of individuals may be genetically predisposed to keloids, suggesting a strong genetic component to this condition.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3: Surprisingly, piercing bumps and keloids can occur even years after getting a piercing. Proper aftercare doesn’t just stop a few weeks post-piercing\u2014it should be an ongoing process to maintain the health of the piercing site.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Table of ContentsUnderstanding Piercing Bumps and KeloidsPiercing Bumps: Causes and PreventionKeloids: Causes and Risk FactorsAftercare for Piercing BumpsAftercare for KeloidsPotential Problems: Identifying and AddressingDispelling Common MisconceptionsTreating Piercing BumpsTreating KeloidsPrevention and Risk Reduction StrategiesPiercing Placement ConsiderationsJewelry Selection and MaterialsLifestyle and Personal FactorsSeeking Professional AdviceEmotional and Psychological ConsiderationsLong-Term Care and MaintenanceLifestyle and Sexual ContextConclusionFAQsWhat are the main … <a title=\"Understanding Piercing Bumps and Keloids\" class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/10piercing.com\/understanding-piercing-bumps-and-keloids\/\" aria-label=\"More on Understanding Piercing Bumps and Keloids\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1702,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5,39],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.7 -
