Q: so basically.. i was informed that i get "keyloids"
since i got my ears pierced for the second time a couple years ago, and scar tissue formed by them and it caused a bump. Which the doctor said was a keyloid?.. and he said the older you get the more prone you are to getting them or soemthing? I'm 16.

I'm wondering though, would that happen if I got it on mmy liip? does anyone know about keyloids or have them adn know stuff?
Every peircing I've ever had (ears 7 times, nose, bellybutton and nose again) has had a keyloid. They're annoying, but mine went away after about 2 months or so (except my ear cartilage, which was about 6 months until it went away). The key is keeping the area clean, so it doesnt get infected/red, which makes things a lot worse.
