I've had it for 3 months, and a keloid has just formed. I was told to put hydrogen peroxide on it with the regular 2x salt and hot water a day... but the piercing keeps healing and scabbing over the bar (inside), and i need to twist it so it doesn't get stuck.it is SO painful and happens after like 5 minutes of twisting the bar.I can't stand the pain anymore, is there any way to prevent this?
go buy a new bar, or go to where you got it pierced to get exact details on what you should be doing. If nothing else, take it out
DONT TWIST IT. DONT USE PEROXIDE. If you twist it, itll drag the crust and any germ on the outside of it, INTO the piercing. Your best bet is to continue with the sea salt soaks, and if its infected, i advise seeing a physician to get antibiotics to kill the infection. Whatever you do, if it IS infected, do NOT take out the jewelery, no matter what the circumstances. It will cause thew holes to close, trapping the infection inside your ear. If it isnt infected, and the keloid gets any larger than it is now, REMOVE THE JEWELERY. Keeping it will only cause the keloid to swell and grow. If you remove it, it will reduce the pressure on the area and the keloid might shrink and dissapear.
You'll probably feel better if you get two CBRs in it instead of the bar. They're easier to clean and heal up easier.
