Belly button piercing keliods?

Question

i'm worried that my 5-month old belly button piercing is developing a keliod. how can i tell? and is there any way i can prevent one? i heard chamomile tea with salt water helps.

thanks :]

Answer 1

I have a keloid that developed on my belly piercing.  At the time I didn't realized it was a keloid forming, but I do remember that when I first got the piercing (maybe within the first 3 weeks) there was a hard lump forming on the inside of the piercing. I thought it was just the bar bell ring, but it wasn't.

Chamomile will not stop a keliod from forming.  If you think you're getting a keliod you might want to go see a dermatologist.  The dr will be able to tell if it is one and help you determine the best way to control it.

Also, once you get a keliod, they don't go away on there own

Answer 2

I think I have that too! I got mine pierced a little over three months ago and there is like this raised skin around my bottom hole. Is that a keliod?

Answer 3

u have one if there is like a hard bump kinda thing in it.  a lot of times they are from cleaning them too much, or from shampoo or soap that got in it while showering. usually they go away on their own
