Piercing bumps and keloids are often confused, but they are different things. A keloid is a thick, raised scar that occurs after a skin injury and can form on the earlobes, shoulders, chest, and cheeks. A piercing bump is a small bump that occurs after getting a piercing and is typically caused by irritation, snagging, or hard pressure. If you have a bump on your piercing and are unsure whether it is a keloid or a piercing bump, consult a piercer or doctor for guidance. To get rid of a piercing bump, keep the jewelry in, clean the piercing with a saline solution, and wash your hands before cleaning.
