DOES THIS LOOK NORMAL?

Question

Exactly 7 days ago, I got my rook pierced. I feel like the side of the ear is bulging out. But my coworker says possible keloid on the top. I feel like if there would be a keloid, it’s the bottom. 
NOW I REALIZE: it’s going to be red for a while (plus I just got done cleaning it). 
Or does this this look like a normal healing process, because I’ve been told it takes awhile for this to heal and swelling to go down.

Answer

(I work a tattoo shop) 
It’s normal, if you have a keloid treat it with tea tree oil in the AM and PM. 
Keep your fingers off of it and only clean it when you shower. 
If you continue to have issues, return to the shop who pierced it for you.

Answer

I don’t see a keloid or hypertrophic scarring. But if you do get a bump try using no pull piercing discs before anything else.  It’s much healthier for your piercing than adding salt or tea tree oil although that can work for some people

Answer

I have both sides done and it took a year for them to heal.
