How do I remove a keloid caused by my cartilage piercing?

I recently got my ear cartilage re-pierced after it closed, and I seem to have a small bump behind it. It's called a keloid. Does anyone know how to remove it? Only people who have had experience with this please.

Try getting surgery. If you pop it, you might leave some scarring tissue that might not heal properly.
Reply:I had one, and I had the guy that pierced it squeeze the keloid til it popped. It didn't necessarily feel too great, and I'm not sure if that's the technical way to do it, but it worked and it hasn't come back since.
Reply:A dermatologist can do it with injections.
