Understand what keloids are and what causes them.
Keloids are benign tumors that occur when the body produces too much collagen in response to an injury. They can occur anywhere on the body, but are most common on the chest, back, shoulders, and earlobes. Keloids can be painful, itchy, and unsightly. Keloids on ear is a common thing we see and treat.
Keloids from ear piercings
ear bump after piercing is what happens in keloid lobe piercing. Even while getting your ears pierced may not seem like a significant injury, your body may occasionally interpret it as such. Fibrous scar tissue begins to replace damaged skin when wounds recover. Keloids can develop when your body produces too much scar tissue. A hump or tiny lump that is bigger than the original piercing is created when this additional tissue begins to protrude from the original wound. Keloids on the ear usually start as little, rounded lumps near the piercing. Sometimes they emerge immediately, but they often show up months after you get your ear pierced. For the upcoming few months, your keloid may continue to grow slowly..
