Hi,

You are thinking in right way. Your daughter has history of keloid,so she is likely to develop keloid anywhere on body at the site of minor to major trauma. She might develop keloid or foriegn body granuloma after piercing the nose at the site of the procedure. So, I humbly request you to avoid such procedures on her body. I hope you got my answer.

Thanks.
