Very much so. Prior to splitting my tongue, I started to stretch it from a 14g that I had pierced it with, to a a 2g and started to develop a keloid. Fortunately, the keloid wasn't an issue, as it as in front of the rod and the scar was removed when I split it. And when I say "I" split it...I mean I split my own tongue!

In some cases, they may become smaller, flatter, and less noticeable over a period of several years.Exposure to the sun during the first year after the keloid forms will cause the keloid to tan darker than the skin around it. This dark color may be permanent.Removing the keloid may not be permanent. Surgical removal may cause a larger keloid scar.ComplicationsCosmetic changes that affect the appearanceDiscomfort, tenderness of the keloidIrritation from rubbing on clothing or other forms of frictionLimited mobility (if the keloids are extensive)Psychological distress if the keloid is large or disfiguringReturn of the keloidCalling your health care providerCall your health care provider if:You develop keloids and want to have them removed or reducedYou develop new symptomsPreventionYou can prevent discoloration from sun exposure by covering the forming keloid with a patch or Band-Aid, and by using sunblock when spending time in the sun.

Is it normal for the tongue to still be numb a week after getting your wisdom teeth pulled?

If they were lower teeth towards the back of your mouth, it is possible that the nerve that brings sensation from the tongue may have been bumped or bruised during the procedure. This damage is temporary, but sometimes it can take up to a year for the sensation to return to the tongue.

Why does youre incision burn from a c-section a year ago and your pregnant 33 weeks?

When the incision healed you got some scar tissue there. And as scar tissue isn't as stretchy as the surrounding tissue it gets uncomfortable when the expanding belly stretches the scar.

Do you have to wait a whole year before covering a scar with a tattoo or can you do it sooner?

it entirely depends on how fast you've healed and how deep and nasty your scar is. Scar tissue tends to be alot different to tattoo than "regular" skin. its best to consult your tattoo artist as each case varies
