What Causes A Hard Round Bump In The Old Piercing Site?
I have a hard round ball in my old piercing and it looks like its growing because sometimes its itches and did see a doc. about it and then they send me to specialist and they said that if they remove it then they have to give me steroids every week or so or else it will come back so am not sure what could that possibly be??
Hello, Thanks for the query, You might have developed a keloid. It should not be operated as it regrows. Steroid injections can help in suppressing the keloid. A photograph would have helped me in giving a closer diagnosis. Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis. 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 a good health.
