Ear Keloid | Dr.Hina Khan
Ear keloids are firm, rubbery, fibrous nodules that form on the ear after minor trauma, most commonly after ear piercing. They can occur in earlobes as well as in the skin and cartilage higher on the ear. Ear keloids can vary in color, from flesh-colored to pink to dark brown. Keloids can be itchy or painful.
Ear keloids are a type of scar tissue, so there isn’t any pus to squeeze out, like a pimple. Trying to pop a keloid on your ear can damage your skin and introduce bacteria, which can cause an infection. Keloids on your ear grow slowly. They may take up to 12 months before they become noticeable, and they may continue to grow for years. They’ll eventually stop growing, but they won’t go away without treatment.
Not everyone will develop an ear keloid after an injury. A keloid on your ear usually doesn’t hurt, but it may itch or feel uncomfortable, and you may feel self-conscious about it. Reach out to your doctor as soon as you notice any unexplained growths on your skin, especially if they make you uncomfortable. Treatments are available to remove ear keloids at Aspen Clinic by Dr. Hina Khan.
