A member asked:
What do the experts think, should my keloid continue to grow once i have taken out the piercing?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Keloids grow: Keloids come from the tissue injury, not from having a piercing in place. Once the tissue is injured from a piercing, it can continue to grow, with or without the piercing in place.
