Keloids: Scars That Dont Know when to Stop
A keloid, sometimes referred to as a keloid scar, is a tough heaped-up scar that rises quite abruptly above the rest of the skin. It usually has a smooth top and a pink or purple color. Keloids are irregularly shaped and tend to enlarge progressively. Unlike scars, keloids do not subside over time. Keloids can develop following the minor injuries that occur with body piercing. Since doctors do not understand the precise reasons why some people are more prone to developing keloids, it is impossible to predict whether piercing will lead to keloid formation.

I'm one of the lucky ones.. No keloids... Nipple and septum keloids probably would look wonderful...  |

My mother has a pretty huge keloid from her smallpox vaccination. Thank God they stopped with that shit before I was born!
