It is usually not a good idea to have a piercing when there is a keloid present on the ear. The recurrent trauma, as well as the pressure and tension from the earring could cause further keloid formation, or encourage growth of the existing keloid. I would recommend consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist for evaluation.

I would recommend Melarase creams twice daily to help reduce the risk of post inflammatory hyper pigmentation. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles
I would use a combination of Plato's Scar Serum and Melarase creams to reduce the activity of the scars and reduce hyper pigmentation. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles
You will need this surgically removed for the best improvement. The scar will heal and can be lasered after to give an even smoother appearance. Best, Dr. Emer.
