About a month ago, I got my tragus pierced, and a keloid [I think] formed now. I might be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that's what it is. Has this happened to anyone else, and if so, how did you take care of it?
I know that I don't have to take out my piercing, I just have to clean it and such, but I'm not sure if there are any other remedies. You clean it with a sea salt solution right? For 15 minutes, 2-3 times a week. Someone told me though that you can crush up tylenol and add a little bit of water to make it into a paste and that will get rid of it too, but I'm hesitant to try it because I don't want to make it worse. Has anyone tried the tylenol+water remedy? |

most the time if you treat them correctly they go away, since theyre not actually keloids lol.
and it really shouldnt scar. when i had it with my lip (on the inside of course lol) it went away within probably a week, if not less. but give it like 2 weeks |
