My dimple piercings have caused me to have a keloid in on cheek. What can I do?!

I've had them on my nose a couple of times and my tongue and they dropped off after a month or 2...but I would suggest going back to your piercer and they can assess how bad it is, I wouldn't worry they're sooo common.

Skip the piercer and go straight to the dermo. Piercer can't provide any additional assistance beyond the usual lip service of "its no biggie". When it comes to your skin I wouldn't gamble with it....have a Dr. look at it. At least then you have the option to have it lasered off. I had a small one develop behind the back of my ear from a second piercing and I'm glad I had mu dermo check it out before it got any bigger. He was able to remove it with no issue.

Your piercer can provide on the spot guidance and reassurance, laser surgery is not the only option. Obviously you should go to your doctor if its really bothering you :)

I had a small one on my nose after I got it pierced. I used tea tree oil and it went away entirely!
