How to Removal Keloid Formed on Nostril from Nose Piercing?

Sunnie81
I have had my nose pierced for 2 1/2 years now and it have developed a keloid around the hole. I would like to have it completely removed, since it is very embarrassing to go out in public with or have anyone get too close to me. I would like to also know the average price for the procedure, and side effects and how long it would take to heal. Thank you!
