thanks for posting the qwery. As you are keloid prone you should definitely avoid trauma like ear piercing or trauma mainly on tensed skin. Ear lobes are also prone to keloids. there are various treatment modalities to flatten out keloids like intralesional steroids, cryotherapy etc. Better be safe by avoiding trauma.
Thanks and take care.
