there is really no way to predict that your ear piercing will result in a keloid but the chances are high. once you are a "keloid-former" you will always be a keloid former but not all skin injuries will result in a keloid so you will have to take that calculated risk. my advice would be not get your ears pierced. a fashion statement may not be worth the risk of another keloid.
if i already get keloids wil i get one from an ear piercing? . i am an 18 year old african male who wants to get his ears pierced. however i have several decent sized although fading on various parts of my body. i want to know if i'll get a nasty. bubbly scar on my ears before i get them pierced. can anyone help me?
