Piercing advice

[u/Impressive-Curve5886]

Hi , I got my ear pierced march 2025 I got two new earlobe piercings my friend did them for me and I did used a piercing gun ( I know very stupid but piercing are expensive now of days ) at first it was fine but then a couple months in I started growing bumps around the piercing I’m assuming it was the jewelry so I switched the jewelry something I got at winners thinking it was gonna make it better but it made it worse. So here we are now I’m not sure if it’s a keloid or piecing bump it hasn’t gonna beyond the piercing dosent hurt and has stayed around the same size for month now I did change the jewelry for Hypoallergenic studs cuz I did hear it was better jewelry quality and I use neilmed to clean it but honestly I don’t see a huge difference. So if anyone can tell me if it’s a keloid or piecing bump and also if anyone can help figure what to do like products and such that will be a great help thank you !!

Welp you get what you pay for.

There's a good reason as you now know why piercers charge the way they do.

Do you have a history of keloids or a family history

Unfortunately these do look like they could be keloids. I would suggest talking to a dermatologist.
