What's a keloid? A keloid is an overgrown scar tissue that is a pink or purple bump that grows above the skin. I know exactly why I started to grow a keloid on my freshly, new nose piercing. It was a mixture of me moving my nose piercing around with my fingers because I felt like I had a booger in my nose (LOL) along with a mixture of all the pollution from the cars (motor biking around Bali), make-up, and forgetting to clean around my nose piercing.
This is my second time getting my nose pierced. The first time I got my nose pierced was back in October 2016. A keloid started to grow in December 2016 and it wasn't until January 2017 when I took it off. I rode that shit out in hopes that it would heal. It did not. The keloid got bigger than my actual nose piercing. Maybe triple the size! SMH at me lol.
The second time I got my nose piercing was in the beginning of last month, September 2017. I realized I started growing a keloid when I was in Canggu, Bali. I was actually pretty sad because I really wanted to keep my nose piercing. I did some research on Google and decided to take action in this keloid removal experiment. Since I have had success with it, I thought I'd let you all know how to treat a keloid on your nose piercing or any other piercings.
- - TEA TREE OIL - -
YUP! That is the remedy! Tea tree oil has anti-septic and anti-inflammatory properties. Not only can it help remove your keloid, but it can be used for many other things such as treating boils, acne, deodorizer, all natural cleaning products, dandruff, removing head lice, ease psoriasis/eczema, treats cuts/wounds, and more.
I applied the tea tree oil on my nose 3-4 times a day with either a q-tip or a napkin. You will start to notice it crusting up after a day or two. That is because the tea tree oil is squeezing out the puss. In about a week or so, my keloid was gone! I am super happy because of the success I had with healing the keloid on my nose piercing. I hope this helps with you, too!
