Take some asprin and hold it on your keloid for about 10-15 min. NO MORE THEN 3 TIMES A WEEK

Maybe you should see the people who did it for u because i have a tongue ring and it was only swollen for 4 days. But if it doesn't have a nd odor then it might not b infected. i used Listerine and kept sucking on ice cubes and it worked. i didn't use sea salt.

A keloid can be a pretty dodgy thing... I suggest you either go see a doctor, or just take it out. If you don't do anything about it, it might get serious.
