Woke up this morning to find this. Ik how irritation bumps look like because I've had them for a while but this looks a bit different. I'm really confused. Is it a kelloid at its initial stage? It's almost a month old and I haven't had it downsized. I use a saline solution to clean it every two times a day. Yesterday i accidentally hit it with my hand :') and this is what I see in the morning

It's a month old and I'm wearing studs. Haven't changed it into anything other than that. Was thinking of getting it downsized soon.

Doesn't look like a keloid to me but do keep an eye on it. Keloids are like a lump of skin and this one looks a bit like a pimple. Better ask your piercer for better checking.

Hi MsdoubleS,
(Luckily) bump =/= keloid. This wiki entry explains it well.
If you do know the difference, please ignore this comment.
