Can I put clearasil on my keloid? (piercing)?
I got my industrial pierced a couple months ago and I have a little bump appearing and a piercer told me it's a keloid starting. My girlfriend had the same thing and she tried some clearasil wipes and swore those made it vanish instantly. I was wondering if I could put the cream on my ear or if it would make it worse?

No! Do not do that! Clearasil has alcohol in it that will irritate your piercing. I have my tragus, rook, and industrial, and I've had keloids on all three. Add a tsp of sea salt into a glass containing 8 ounces of water. Mix this thoroughly. Soak a small cotton ball or Q-tip with a little of the solution and apply it to the pierced area. Throw the pad away and repeat the process with a new one. Continue this for 5-6 minutes. Give it time to heal, it's not going to magically disappear.
