## 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](https://howtodiscuss.com/t/tenderloin/154097) 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](https://howtodiscuss.com/t/best-antibiotic-for-skin-infection/130026) 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.
