@withbling: Irritation bump or keloid? Let’s break it down 👇 These two look similar at first—but they’re very different when it comes to treatment and healing. 🔹 Irritation Bump: • Small, soft, pink or skin-toned • Can appear shortly after a piercing • May be itchy or leak a bit of fluid • Often goes away with proper aftercare and downsizing 🔸 Keloid: • Raised, firm, thick, and rubbery • Grows beyond the piercing site • Usually darker in colour • Doesn’t shrink on its own — often needs medical treatment ⚠️ If you're unsure, always check in with a professional piercer or dermatologist. Early intervention makes a difference! #WithBling #PiercingBump #KeloidAwareness #PiercingAftercare #CuratedEar
