hi , my name is Pamela & I got my belly piercing about a month ago . my belly piercing grew a keloid and i started putting garlic and olive oil to cure it. when the keloid got smaller , I decided to put a little more but then it cut me a little. i then put aspirin on it and now i got an allergic reaction. the top hole of my belly piercing is extremely red and bumpy and i dont know what to do to cure it. how can i cure it and how long will take for this to go away?
