i wonder if it hurts to get a tattoo!
Has anyone heard of getting a Keloid scar from a tattoo on their foot?
no i havent but i would go to your doctor and get them to check it out for you. hope this helps!
Reply:Anyone who is susceptible to developing keloids will get them with any trauma to their skin,including tattoos.
Reply:People who scar "keloid" style will not just get them on their foot. They will get them anywhere on their body. The tattoo has nothing to do with it.

I got my ear pierced a couple months ago and I think a keloid forming. How can i prevent it from growing more?
So the bump is on front and back of my cartilage upper ear piercing. On the center of my bump is where the piercing hole is, and the color of my bump is nearly the same as my ear. (light brown). It doesn't itch and theres no pain, but it feels hotter than my body sometimes(inflammation?) . Is this keloid?
I clean it at least once a day with bactine but I do tend to play with it a lot. Since I've found out, I have stopped playing with it, prevented it from rubbing into things, and started to do the sea salt warm water washes. I also have an earlobe piercing on the same ear but nothing wrong with it. So what can I do to minimize/prevent further growth or even shrink it a little?

Stop using bactine, that crap will do more bad for a piercing then good. It'll prolong the healing time. Bactine is used for cuts and scrapes. A piercing is a puncture wound. There is a difference.
Are you sure its a keloid, and not just a bump? I'll leave a link with pics of keloids.. If it's just a bump you could try doing an asprin paste, which is where you crush up an asprin and put a few drops of water in it. Put it over the bump, just don't get it in the hole. If it is a keloid, that link that I posted also give treatment suggestions.
Also stop playing with it. That will also irritate the piercing, and prolong the healing time.
Reply:i would go see a doctor if it gets worse but until then leave it alone and clean it 2x a day (if u just got it pierce clean it with the ear cleaning solution they gave u)

HOw to get rid of a keloid on my nose piercing?
You may not have a keloid.
Most people think that they have a keloid, but its really a blister, or just scar tissue.
What you should do, is start doing sea salt soaks.
1.Wash your hands with an anti-Bacterial or antimicrobial liquid Soap/Wash.
2.Use a disposable cup to mix your sea salt solution. Or clean your cup very well with the anti-bacterial soap.
3.Mix 1/4 teaspoon of sea salt to 8 oz of warm water. (Distilled water if possible)
4.Fully saturate a clean paper towel in the solution and hold the paper towel on your piercing for 10 minuites a day once daily for a week. Only do this to the outside of your piercing.Dont use cotton balls or q-tips. Small cotton fibres can get wraped around the jewlery and get inside the piercing, causeing irritation.
This should help drain the bump, and it should go down. If it dosent go away in a week, increase your sea salt soaks to twice daily and increase your amount of sea salt to 1/2 a teaspoon to 8 oz. Its very important that you measure.
Other tips...
Dont use washcloths, sponges or loofas.
Dont rotate twist or turn the piercing. It forces crust back in the hole.
Be careful not to get it snagges on things.
Dont put makeup on it.
Dont use exfoliating creams near the piercing.
If your unsure about where you got pierced, you could be
If your worried..Its always best to see a doctor, to rule out problems.
Dont use peroxide
Dont use alcohol..alcohol is not supposed to go inside puncture wounds, a piercing is a puncture wound..it can be toxic to your liver and cause abnormal scar formation.The last thing you want is a bad scar on your nose.
If this dosent work, or you are sure that you have a keloid, you have to get it removed by a doctor.

i have a friend and she had them on her ears she had to get it lasered off. so that may be the only way, go to a doctor and see what they say.
Reply:I'm no surgeon, but I don't think you can. If you cut it again, it will just keep building more scar tissue. Didn't you know you were prone to the development of keloids before you did it?
Reply:take a .9mm gun and blast it off =). be careful not to shoot ur nose off tho!
Reply:go to a dermatologist
Reply:I did my own keloids using triamcinolone acetonide injected directly into the lesion with a diabetic needle. I had to do them about 4 or 5 times about 2-3 months apart but the results are fantastic.Don't try it unless you are good with your hands - better still ask your doc to do it for you.

Reply:Mederma is an over the counter skin product made especially for scars like that.
Reply:It probably would be a good idea to go see your family doctor to see if they can inject Kenalog or any equivalent (it's steroid based) and is used to decrease the inflammation in the scar. You would have to get multiple injections on a regular basis to see if it helps. This works well if the scar is relatively new. If not, your doctor can refer you to a dermatologist for other options, such as laser.
Reply:You might want to try silicone strips , they flatten lighten and thin out scar tissue . They were originally used on plastic surgery patients. they can be used again and again. they are on the expensive side, most scar removers on the market contain some form of silicone, it will take some time ,it took a season for them to work on me. Good luck.

How much is it to remove keloid?
I would say 1000- 4000 depending on how big it is. Just a guess. Plastic surgery( i assume that is the professional that would have to do it) is not cheap.

You don't "Contact" keloid, it's genetic. It causes excessive scarring. It is predominately a black trait. With surgical intervention you can try and minimize the scar tissue, but the likelihood is, it will always be a huge scar. Check with good, board certified plastic surgeon.

I also get keloids i had to have one removed from both my ears from having my ears pierced.But I just recently got a tattoo and was worried about that also keloiding,but i was told that my ears did so because the area had to stay open and because my tattoo will heal it would not keloid.So i say go for it and talk to your family doctor first.

What is the best treatment for keloid scar?
my piercer gave me lavender oil and tea tree oil when my keloid formed...the tea tree is supposed to help dry it up (and heal it) and the lavender was used to keep the surrounding area from getting dried out also...
I also changed my nose jewelry...it went away in a couple of weeks.
Hope this helps you!
What is the best treatment for keloid scar?
If your scar is not too old, you can try buying Vitamin E capsule gel at your local drugstore. Puncture the capsule with a clean needle and apply the gel onto the scar. I would do this 3-4 times a day. Depending on how big the scar, do not discard the punctured ca[sule so you can save it for the next use, just be sure to store it in a clean place.
This will not make the scar go away, but lessen the scar. I did this to a very bad scar burn on the breast and it worked wonders. Good luck!
