Will my piercing hole close after keloid removal?

September 29, 2015
Asked By:jberry22 in King, NC

I got my ears pierced when I was in eighth grade and got a keloid along with it. That was 10 years ago. Although I can still put earrings through the hole, I really want to get rid of this keloid. Is it possible to still put earrings in the hole after the removal of the keloid, or should I avoid earrings?
