What kind of growths happen with ear piercing?
Most people assume that their growth is a keloid, but the majority of cases are not keloids. Keloids can range in all sizes, are generally not painful, & contain no substance inside except scar tissue. They do not seep, pus, or bleed. If it hurts, seeps, oozes pus and/or bleeds, it's not a keloid; it's probably either an infection or a sebaceous cyst.
Does rubbing keloids makes it grow bigger?
Keloids will grow regardless if you rub them or not.
Can keloids be prevented?
There is no completely effective way to treat keloids or to prevent their formation.

Does keloid have pus inside?
Hi, I'm Dr Spencer! I've been studying Keloid tetramers a while back. They have a liquid called, patonicot label. It's like pus and has a more yellow colour. So the answer I'm to give to you is no they don't but it depends on how big the keloids are. They may just be blisters. But you can normal see strait away what a keloid is compared to a blister. Hope this was helpful, Thanks Dr Spencer.
