what the F came out of my ear piercing??

I recently took out my ear piercings, the third one got infected and what looked like a keloid appeared. It was hard and a round to the touch. Discoloration slightly began to appear, with light purple and green but still normal skin color when you'd push on the hard bump. I tired popping it like a pimple but to no prevail. I got so annoyed cause the damn thing wouldn't pop!! 
Until this morning, I finally took a pair of scissors and cut it open, began squeezing it like a pimple but it was hard to get out. A little tip came out and I thought the puss/pimple was being a stubborn SOB! but I grabbed my tweezers and pulled out a long piece of skin, but it also looks like a freaking worm! I am so scared, I have a huge phobia and I feel like there's more but Its probably all in my head! I'll be sitting here all morning, picking it with tweezers and scissors.  What the hell is it??
It looks like the piercing hole closed, got infected and formed a keloid. Cause before it came out, I wasnt able to put an earring in but now after it got pulled out, I can.
So is it a worm or the earring hole cannel?
