How can you prevent getting a keloid on an upper ear piercing?

Enn W asked:


I’m getting my upper ear pierced (ear cartilage) in a couple of days. I wanted to know what I can do before an after I get the piercing to prevent a keloid (bump) from forming. Thanks so much. Any advice would be much appreciated =)

    unfortunately there isn’t really anything you can do – some skin types (darker skins and particularly afro-caribbean skins)have a propensity to developing keloid scars…
