Can Nose Piercing Form Keloid In A Keloid Prone Skin?
Hi, my name is Paris. This may be related more towards tattoo professionals, but I just wanted to ask a doctor if I get my nose pierced will it keloid if I have keloid skin? I found out last year that I had keloid skin due to a major fall, and the left side of my waist formed a keloid. I have both of my ears pierced and neither has formed a keloid. My mother also has keloid skin (which is how I inherited it) and has a keloid on her navel due to giving birth to me having to get a c-section. She also has both of her ears pierced and had her nose pierced before. So, is there any chance that if I get my nose pierced that It'll form a keloid?
Hello, Thanks for the query, Yes any type of injury can lead to keloid formation. If you are prone to keloids it is better to avoid nose piercing. Once keloid is formed the treatment becomes very difficult. Let me know if you have any other doubt. you can ask a direct question to me on this forum, following the below link. http://www.healthcaremagic.com/doctors/dr-rahul-kumar/64818 Wishing you good health, Thank you
