Um..i have keloids and I'm 18 and you do not have your ears pierced but you want to get a tattoo Is it possible for you to get a tattoo while having keloids?
My sister has keloids. She had a tattoo to cover her keloid. It looks fine.
If you have keloids but you got piercings and none formed can you get a tattoo?
Keloids often form due to the blunt force used by ear piercing guns. Tattoo guns would be unlikely to cause keloids because they just use a needle to distribute the ink in the skin. So, to answer your question, I've never heard of a tattoo gun causing keloids. If you're still unsure, ask your local tattoo parlor and they can give you any information you want to know about tattoos.
How do you get rid of tattoo keloids?
There is nothing that you the client can or need to do to prevent this from happening. A "keloid" in relation to a tattoo simply means that the artist that did the tattoo simply went to deep and scarred you. Keloids are more common and unpredictable when it comes to body piercing, especially surface piercings. The only way to reduce the appearance of them in that respect is to use diluted Tea Tree Oil. This will not work with a tattoo, as I said, because it is irrevocably scarred.
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.
How may keloids be described?
keloids consist of hard, raised scars that may be slightly pink or whitish. These may itch and be painful, and some keloids can grow to be quite large.
Can you get a tattoo if you have keloid skin?
It would be best to speak to your doctor about it. The best way to avoid keloids is to not get piercings or tattoos. But if you really want one, consult a doctor first.
Are keloids benign or malignant tumors?
No. Keloids are benign (noncancerous), fibrous skin tumours. If it is cancerous, it is not a keloid.
Do keloids have pus?
No. Keloids are tough, fibrous masses on and under the skin that hurt and/or itch and look like an inflamed scar.
How may the pattern of distribution of keloids be said to differ according to race?
facial keloids more common in Caucasians and relatively uncommon in Asians. African Americans are more likely to develop keloids on the legs or feet than either Asians or Caucasians
What is the medical definition of keloids?
Keloids are sharply elevated, irregularly shaped, progressively enlarging scars. They are known to happen because of burns or types of radiation injuries.
How can surgeons avoid causing the formation of keloids?
Keloids typically appear following surgery or injury, however scar formation is a natural part of the healing process after injury.
