How do you know it's a keloid and not a hypertrophic reaction? Keloids cant be treated, they are a collection of disorganized skin cells formed to fill in an area of damaged skin. A hypertrophic reaction is a reaction to an irritant (most likely what you are using to clean your piercing with). Quite often the two are confused by inexperienced people, the two are very different from each other to the professional piercer.
Stop using every thing you are using on your piercing for cleaning or healing. Flush the piercing under running water daily while moving the jewellery, this will rinse the irritant out of the piercing and will allow the body to resume healing the piercing. You should start to see a change in the piercing in about 3 ~ 6 days, the lump will start to shrink and the piercing will start to look better.
There are no over night cures for piercing issues, only the understanding and knowledge of a true professional body piercer will help you resolve a piercing related issue. Aftercare is a multimillion dollar business and too often body piercing studios fall prey to the lure of easy money selling garbage that people don't really need. Your body has the ability to heal, all you need to do is listen to what it's telling you, if you don't understand the language then go see a real experienced professional body piercer for guidance and the translation.
