Okay, I was just wondering...
I got my ears pierced when I was a baby.. they turned out fine, no bumps,
but when I got older, about 6th grade I got my ears double pierced (second holes) and they developed bumps behind them "keloids" not sure why, I've been told some people become more prone to them as they get older.
Regardless, I'm 18 years old i got my cartilage pierced it has a slight bump but I've been sea soaking it and its been fine, i'm just wondering if I got my lip pierced is it likely to get a keyloid like in my mouth??
Like do piercings in the mouth heal differently? i know that must sound stupid, I'm just wondering. Thanks!

NO LIE I'M IN THE SAME BOAT AS YOU.Had my ears pierced as baby...no problems. Got my second hole around 10 or 11...problem. One big keloid on one ear and a smaller one on the other. And now ive been wanting a lip piercing also. Have you ever had a deep scratch or wound before? B/c i have and they say keloids form when there's to much scar tissue but ive only got them on my second piercing. If you've never had a keloid from a wound then maybe it's a nickel allergy that reacts from the type of jewelry. Maybe if you could find out if you have it then if you decide to get your lip pierced you may have to go for the jewelery with the least amount of nickel in it and hope it won't scar up.I've even had my keloids removed but they've come back so im skeptical about getting a lip piercing even if i do take EXTRA care of it.
