Asking for Self, Female, 20 years old, Karachi
My mother have keloids. Can my sister and I get our nose pierced? Is there any chance of formation of keloid?
keloid is a natural healing response of skin, genetically determined. can run in families. but if u or ur sister have not developed any keloid in the past then chances r low . take good antiseptic measures during n after piercing and just observe for any raised lesion and in that case consult a dermatologist immediately they will give u topical medications to apply.
yes you are genetically prone to this problem
I do intralesional injections of a combination of 5FU and steroids with an interval and have excellent results
