THE piercings nose are elegant and popular, but can sometimes lead to complications, including the appearance of cheloids or growths. If you wonder what it is, how to warn or treat it, this complete guide is for you.

A chéloid is an outgrowth of scar tissues which can form after a piercing. Unlike a classic scar, a chéloid continues to grow beyond the area initially affected. It is often firmer, thicker and takes a pink or brownish shade. These lesions are benign, but can cause aesthetic or physical genes.

The appearance of a chéloid is linked to excessive production of collagen at the dermis during healing. This can be triggered by factors such as:

• The skin type: some people are more prone to it.

• A repeated injury or blows on the pierced area.

• Unsuitable jewelry or irritating material.

• Inappropriate care or infections.

To distinguish a cheloid from a hypertrophic scar is crucial because of their differences:

Hypertrophic scar: outgrowth limited to the initial wound, frequently due to excessive irritation or manipulation. It can regress with suitable care such as healing creams or silicone dressings. It can itch or cause slight discomfort, but rarely remains painful.

Chéloid: outgrowth which exceeds the limits of the wound, with a firm and smooth texture, often curved and irregular. Thicker and variable color (red, purple or dark brown), it does not disappear spontaneously and requires specific medical treatment.

Chélooids are more frequent in people who are genetically predisposed or with a specific skin type, while hypertrophic scars can touch everyone. If a bump persists or increases, consult a piercing or dermatologist for a precise diagnosis and suitable treatment.

Infection and chéloid can be alike, but distinctive signs make it possible to make the difference:

Infection : Pronounced redness, heat to the touch, swelling, pus flow, localized pain, and sometimes fever.

Chéloid : Firm and smooth outgrowth which develops slowly, without heat or flow, and with a shade ranging from rosé to dark brown. It can cause slight sensitivity, but rarely intense pain.

If a bump appears without symptoms of infection, it can be a hypertrophic scar or a cheloid, you have to make the link. Consult a pierce or doctor for a diagnosis without giving in to panic.

• Laser treatments : Reduce the pigmentation and texture of the cheloid, helping to flatten it and make it less visible, without completely eliminating it.
