Bumps on my industrial piercing?

Now, I've don't a bit of research on keloids and different kinds of scarring for piercings. But I'm not exactly sure what this is. Any ideas?

    Looks like keloids. I have them as well.

    My piercer told me to grind up some ibuprofen with water to make a thick paste, then coat it on my ear twice a day and they would be gone in 2 weeks time. I haven't tried it yet. Grinding up ibuprofen is a pain in the butt, even with a pill crusher.

    *sigh* A) I reeeeeally wish Rita would stop posting that on everyones answers. It's annoying the hell out of me. B) It's a keloid. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keloid Those suuuuuck, and are a pain in the *** to get rid of. I had one when I got my navel pierced. I suggest you see a dermatologist, even though when you come in with them, they basically blame you and treat you like your a moron. Assholes. hope this helped. :/ and good luck to you!
