Piercingsare great and all, but like any body modification, there can be some pretty heavy drawbacks.
For piercings, these drawbacks might includea keloid or a piercing bump.
Just what are these side effects?
Per theAlmost Famous Piercingwebsite, a keloid is a scar that usually ranges from a red to pink color.
For example, the site recommends massaging oil onto your piercing, so the scar tissue can relax.
If that doesn’t work, try compression therapy.
After all, asByrdiereported, piercing bumps happen because ofa lack of care and cleaning.
My advice is to be proactive from the start.
Keep it clean and be careful with it."
For keloids, it’s a lot more complicated, simply because a keloid is a scar.
They’ll be able to (hopefully) help you keep yourpiercingwhile also healing your skin.
