Will a keloid go away if I remove the piercing?

I have a keloid around my nose from a piercing will it go away now that I've removed the piercing?

Will a keloid go away if I remove the piercing?
Chances are it's hypertrophic scarring and not a keloid. Use hot sea salt soaks to get it to go away. If it is a keloid, removing the jewelry won't make it go away.





I suggest looking at safepiercing.org. Read a bit, you'll learn lots :)
Reply:It might, it would have gone down if you would have kept the piercing in %26amp; just kept cleaning it too.
Reply:Probably not. More likely you will have to have the keloid removed.
Reply:no,it will just make it bigger
