Keloids...ugh!!!
September 10th, 2007
Hey. I'm currently 18 yrs old right now, and have a question about keloids. I'm asian, don't have any piercings, and my grandma has keloids. I know that that means that I'm more suceptable to keloids. But is there some kind of genetic test or something to see whether I would develop keloids if I get piercings? I want to get my ears pierced, but also want to make sure nothing happens when I do. Any advice, anyone? thankx!
