Yes, popping a keloid is generally not advisable. Doing so can lead to infection, increased inflammation, and potential scarring, which may worsen the keloid's appearance. It's best to consult a healthcare professional for appropriate treatment options rather than attempting to pop it yourself.

You should not pop a keloid, as doing so can lead to further irritation, infection, or increased scarring. A keloid is an overgrowth of scar tissue that forms at the site of an injury, consisting mainly of collagen fibers. They can be raised, thick, and may continue to grow beyond the original wound site.
