Don't do it. Clear up the keloid first and then get it repierced. Repiercing it will just irritate it and cause it to form a larger more painful bump. Plus, piercing thru fresh/large amounts of scar tissue is painful.
Use hot compresses and a bit of tea tree oil or sea salts to shrink it up and break down the tissue a bit. Then get it repierced.

No, that's gross. You need to get your keloid fixed. I used to have bad keloids on my scalp, but my doctor gave me a steroid solution that helped clear it.
