How to Recognize a Nose Keloid?
You might have trouble diagnosing nose keloids on your own because they can look like other skin problems. You might feel pain or tenderness in the lump, and it might also itch.
These are common symptoms of infections caused by unclean tools or allergic reactions to certain metals or cheap jewellery. If you get a lump, you should see a dermatologist or doctor. But there are some clear signs that you have a nose keloid.
A keloid can develop slowly over time, unlike an infection or an allergic reaction. It might not show up right after getting your nose pierced, but it could grow slowly over months or even years.
Summary
A keloid is usually a hard, smooth, shiny mass that forms around a piercing. It can be pink, purple, or brown in colour. It will also be fixed in place and feel stiff and rubbery most of the time.
