I have multiple ear piercings as well. I have multiple helix piercings in each ear, rook, daith, tragus, conch and 4 earlobe piercings on each ear and my nose is also pierced. Something that has helped me and I swear by it is crushing up some aspirin and put a dash of sea salt and enough water to make a paste....then put the aspirin and sea salt mixture all over the keloid and leave it on all night long. In the mornings clean as usual with antimicrobial soap and put tea tree oil on. Within a few days keloids are completely gone. Also, a travel pillow really does help. Something else you could also do since you don't have a travel pillow is roll up a smaller blanket or towel and put it in a circle and lay your head on that. That will also help eliminate pressure on your ear piercings.
The sea salt paste you recommend has been a life changer for my ear piercings! My job, hobbies, entire life basically involves animals that somehow always manage to knock my ears and so piercing bumps are a constant thing. From bumping heads with a horse, getting whacked by bird wings, and dogs being super playful, all my piercings bumps have been taken care of with your sea salt paste. I've even used it on GIANT, stubborn zits! Though I definitely caution using it for zits and recommend it only as a last resort if your skin is sensitive. Just like with piercing bumps, it dries out the zit but also means drying out the surrounding skin.
That is so awesome! I am SO glad it worked for you! Yeah it's SUPER drying but it works so well! haha use with caution as with everything in life but it truly does work and I'm so glad it works for you! :D xoxo
I love the red backdrop! Looks fabulous!
Thank you!
I love it too Bre. I can't wait to see the halloween one as well in september/October time.
That's so relatable, girl... I'm currently dealing with huge keloids on my industrial, it really sucks. I also use tea tree oil but I always have to dilute it, because my piercing gets irritated so easily...
Hope your piercings get better soon :)
Thank you! They're getting a lot better. :)
@@missjadeey100 Never heard of them! Thank you :)
Im a side sleeper and I got my rook and conch done on my left ear. I've found if you create a "hole" into your pillow with your fist, that way your ear goes into the hole and the rest of the pillow supports you. This has helped me so much with healing!!! Hope this helps!!! 😜
I do appreciate your piercing videos! You’ve helped me so much with my fairly new nose piercing! Keep the vids coming!!!
I'm so glad! xoxo Of course I will!
Your videos have helped me in the past cuz they were basically my ‘research’ on every piercing that I would want to get
Yay! I'm so glad they helped!
No Pull disks work wonders! i’ve used them on my own, and being a collector of 13 cartilage piercings I highly recommend it
I'll check those out! :D
I'm not new to piercings and hypertrophic scarring, so I REALLY appreciate your videos! This was how I got hooked on your channel. I've got all but 2 of mine healed, so thanks for your advice. ❤️
You're so welcome! I'm glad they helped you!
Ur keloids dont look too bad peach!!;) Good vid ❤ OOOHHHH AND HELL YEAH ON 230K SUBBIES 😍😍😍
Thank you!
My nostil piercing had a keloid and I hated it. Your video about sea salt soaks from a few years ago saved me! I followed all your instructions and it disappeared in no time! Thanks Bree ❤❤
You're so welcome! I'm so glad it helped! :D
The is not massive! Lol I was expecting g so much bigger! I have a massive one that looks like a tumor 😭
To me these are big! haha
I can relate with this. No matter how hard I take care of my ear piercings, they always end up with a Keloid... :( I hope they get better soon, I know how much it sucks
Oh so that's the bump on my ear beside my helix piercing. I still have it there even year after taking it out. I always thought it's just the skin buildup from pushing skin apart by a needle lol.
It just never really bothered me aside the whole piercing being uncomfortable to sleep on and squeezing against my scalp or catching in my hair or scarfs.
Good to know what that bumpy thing is so I can stop wondering wtf
haha yeah I remember when I got my first ever one I was so confused lmfao
@@BreeAnn823 And I've never treated it just let it be. Because I only did hydrogen peroxide for my healing
Sometimes when you take a piercing out you will get scar tissue and it can cause a bump. Put tea tree oil on it. That will help it go away.
I always love these videos, I am sorry you're having issues but they do look great!!!
You look beautiful as always ❤ XO
Thank you Kerri! They're doing much better now! :D
@@BreeAnn823
Great to hear! You're most welcome!
I got an ear piercing almost exactly two years ago (it was an industrial but I ended up changing the jewelry to two separate pieces of jewelry and then totally taking one of them out because I was having such a terrible time getting them to heal.) And I have a huge bump that I cannot get to go away to save my life.
Oh no. :( I've heard so many horror stories with industrial piercings. I think they're cute but the healing process doesn't seem worth it to me.
Nice video! I have noticed the audio in your videos is a little off since the move. You sound fine in your vlogs but for some reason in your sit down filming room vidoes it sounds off. Just some feedback 😊
yeah I had some settings messed up on my camera I fixed it so it shouldn't happen again! I had this video pre-recorded before I fixed the issue! I'm sorry about that!
I have one on my conch and everytime I see it I feel like crying 😂💔
I feel that! lol
I got my double auricle a couple of weeks ago and I am so scared of the healing process. For your bumps, you could use the no pull piercing disk. I used this for my nose piercing bump and it worked wonders. Also you could kinda bend your arm in a triangle shape and rest your ear in the space between. That's what I do now that my auricles are healing. It's comfy af too. Good luck Bree ❤️
Thank you! Yes I have slept like that before and I do like that way however after awhile it gives me a headache! :(
Try no pull piercing disk! I had two giant keloids on each of my nose piercings and those were life savers.
Emily Ann Yes!! I wish Bree could do a review on it. I was able to save my daith piercing with no pull piercing disks and currently have one on my helix piercing
I mistakenly got an industrial bar in one ear and then my double helix done on the other ear without realizing the sleep situation. If you’re thinking of getting pierced in both ears then I’d suggest picking up a neck pillow or travel pillow. Not for your neck but so you can lay your head down and your ear isn’t being irritated because of the shape of your pillow, your ear will fit inside the hole of the travel pillow allowing it to heal well. This worked for me, both have healed and are keloid free.
I did the exact same thing and it took a whole year for them to heal
I just got my helix and (second) earlobes pierced yesterday!! I'm gonna try saltsoaking them twice a day, hope I don't get a "keloid" :-). You're piecings are stunning btw.
Thank you! Good luck with your new piercings! So exciting! :D
My eyes watered watching the piercings been done. My tongue was my worst one I just forgot about cleaning but lucky had no issues
My toung was my most painful peircing as well.
haha my eyes water with worst with any facial piercing lol
Hey Bree! I'm sorry to hear that you've developed keloids on your new ear piercings. I had one behind my left ear. I used the rubberband method to get RID of it. But I still have some SCAR TISSUE in the spot where it was. I'm SURE that you'll be OK. Keep your piercing videos coming.
What method is that? I've never heard of it. I'm curious. :)
@@BreeAnn823 My situation was DIFFERENT from yours. Like you said, you have those HYPOTROPHIC SCARS but I had HUGE KELOID behind my left ear. Years ago, I got a THIRD set of earlobe piercings but I didn't take care of 'em because I was going through a DEPRESSING breakup with a guy. So I know how it is when you get DISTRACTED with other things in your life. Anyway, I had taken OUT my piercings studs. In my attempt to keep my piercings OPEN, I UNWISELY stuck a safety pin through my piercings. That's how I developed a HUGE, UGLY keloid behind my left ear. Eventually, I did go to a dermatologist to have it surgically removed but it just GREW right back! After I became AWARE of TH-cam, I did some research. Some 'expert TH-camrs' recommended using a SMALL, TIGHT rubberband to get rid of keloids, which I did. You take the SUPER-SMALL rubberband and WIND it AROUND your keloid as TIGHT as you can. The rubberband CUTS off the BLOOD CIRCULATION to the keloid, which slowly KILLS the keloid. Of course, the process is painful but that's because the rubberband is doing its JOB of CUTTING OFF the BLOOD CIRCULATION to your keloid. You just have to TOLERATE the pain, which I did. With the BLOOD CIRCULATION CUT OFF from the keloid, it starts to DIE. Eventually, the keloid starts to turn color and eventually just FALLS OFF! In my case, my keloid hasn't grown back either. But I do still have some scar tissue in that area. Still, that's PREFERABLE over having that HUGE, UGLY mass of SCAR TISSUE sitting behind my left ear. I have a NEW SET of THIRD earlobe piercings now, which are doing fine.
First comment :) love your videos all the way from Australia BreeAnn!❤️
That is awesome! Thank you so much!
This video had me laughing so much!! You crack me up! I don’t give a F@#€ 😂😂😂😂
Love your videos!
hahaha thank you for watching! xoxo
My anti tragus took sooo long to heal and it kept getting bumps right after I got rid of another :( it kept happening because I didn’t squeeze them good enough and I kept touching it with dirty hands. Finally now after 11 months is doing good and your video about sea paste helped me so much
I'm so glad it finally healed! What a process right?! lmfao!
I've had lots of piercings since I started getting into them, ive done some myself (not recommended) and had lots done by professionals, and gotten my ears pierced by guns. My nose piercings have gotten keloids along with my other cartilage piercings. I also scar very easily
Dang girl! You're brave!!!! I could never pierce myself!
Nice video. I have keliods on my 2 eight month old helix piercings... and I have a travel pillow. Also it was done professionally and with the needle. That's just how I am I guess. Happened already with my very first helix piercings. It just need time and I do clean it with the sea salt bath and I apply tea tree oil.
Anyways your looks super cool BreeAnn. Xoxo 💓💕🐕🐶🐶☕☕🤗🤗❣💜💓❤😙😉
Thanks Sarah! :D
Do you have MCR t-shirt???
Yes :)
I got my 5th lobe hole pierced with a needle by a professional and slept on the other side and it still developed a keloid on the back of it. So you’re right, shit happens. I can’t get it to go away to save my life, either. 😭
Very true! You never know what you're going to get when you get a piercing lol
giirrll have you tried the No Pull Discs??? i SWEAR by them to get rid of keloids, they work super fast too, I've pierced my nose a few times and always took it out because it kept getting keloids, i pierced it again and it got one again but i tried those discs and the keloid was gone in less than a week, and my nose healed beautifully! you should definitely check them out 😊
I have heard SO many good things about them! I want to try them! Where do you get yours?
@@BreeAnn823 www.nopullpiercing.com/ !! I really hope they work for you if you try them!
Ugh keloids are the worst! I've had to deal with many, many of those nasty things on basically all my piercings. Matter of fact, I've been fighting a huge one on one of my nipple piercings for two weeks now. First day or so I used band aids to cover it so it wouldn't bleed on my clothes. Lucky me, I had a reaction to the adhesive on the band aids because it literally tore my skin as I removed them! So not only did I have those little bumps on my piercing, I also had scabs and bruises from the freaking band aids. It looked like a wild animal had attacked my boob. It's been a long process, but it's just about normal. Love all my piercings, but they can be a pain to deal with sometimes! 😂
oh my gosh! Your poor boob! I can't imagine! That's already such a sensitive area! lol piercings really are a pain sometimes
6:34 😂 lmfao I love you ❤️💋
hahaha Love you more!
Does it string when you apply the tea tree oil? Cuz when I put it on mine it stings which makes me think something else is wrong....
Sometimes it can I guess. I haven't had too many issues with stinging though.
Ugh the things we go threw because we love piercings!!!!😔
Tell me about it! lol
Sorry to hear about your helix peircings. I hope they get better. I got my helix redone in April so I'll probably wait at least 2 months before downsizing. I heal very slow. I notice I end up on my back through out the night so I try to use my travel pillow to not lay on the bar. Glasses are hard to whare because the bar is so long right now. I tried having the bar sit in the middle so I can clean it, but everytime i sleep it pushes forward because I end up sleeping on my back without relizing it. I hope we can get another update soon. How long do you wait to downsize? Just wondering out of curiosity. Sorry for the long comment.
Thank you! They're finally getting better! I'll probably wait another month or so before I consider downsizing! I am a very slow healer when it comes to piercings.
I just took my industrial out because i had 4 keloids on it. Every ear piercing i have except the lobes and the conch. I had a helix and it got a keloid. I had a daith and it had a keloid. I had a rook and it had a keloid. I am over ear piercings and i know that i have been taking good care of them. Now i have a nose piercing and an septum piercing and have no issues whatsoever. No more ear piercings for me. Oh and i had a Tragus and it had a keloid too. I am over ear piercings for sure.
Dang girl that sucks :(
Have you tried icthamol ointment? My piercer recommended it and it works quick. Another name for it is called drawing salve.
Never heard of it. I'll have to look it up!
Tea tree oil works miracles!!!
i have one on my conch 😩 but i get them every now and again. tea tree oil has been my savior
Surprisingly I never got one on my conch! I was surprised! lol
Ugh screw piercings lol I have 20(?) now.. My stupid industrial (10months old) is rejecting..... but ONLY the bottom of the piercing 🙃 my body hates me.
Gahh that's so annoying! lol
I know this doesn’t have to do with keloids or hypotrophic scarring but I think it’s interesting. I have had keloids before about 2-3 weeks ago I decided to get my snug pierced. I took care of it slept on a travel pillow o cleaned it. And some how my ear got infected and it resulted in my ear swelling 3 times it’s size and I had to be in antibiotics for a week and to be honest I loved the piercing I would get it again but I would go to a different shop. Now the shop I went too I have been going there for years and never had a problem now as to where the infection came from it’s debatable but be careful with new piercings
Dang girl I'm sorry to hear that. :( There's always that risk unfortunately.
Thank you so much BreeAnn because of your videos I was able to indicate that it was an infection and I was able to look at the signs and I was able to decipher what was what
I got a double conch piercing and i STILL have bumps 4 months later. It's so annoying because as soon as the bumps go away (sea salt paste), they come back. It sucks.😕😕😕😕. P.s. i know conch piercings take up to a year to heal but how do i know if i can change it at the 6 month mark?
Krystal my conch and rook piercing still get bumps and constantly are crusty after 2 and 4 years of having them. I’m so close to getting them taken out
Same thing with me I almost took my piercing out. My conch took 2&1/2 years to completely heal with no bumps! Im happy I kept it tho cuz finally got to change it to a hoop like 3 years later😬
I personally wouldn't change it until the bumps are under control haha
I got the other side of my nose pierced (I have both now yay!) and it’s been so easy so far, I’ve had my helix piercing for 3 years and I always get keloids on it, still treating one that was so big I thought it was gonna be permanent. Luckily it’s almost gone now, thank god for tea tree oil!
Yeah! I always get them the worst on my ear piercings! Tea tree oil is the best!
Hi Bree! Absolutely love your vids :) I have a question and maybe you know more due to exp. But on a few of my piercings I don't get actually keloids. What does happen is that it swells up. Like kinda a tube forms around the jewlery post (ear piercing). It is not infected I think but a little painfull. And after a year it still does not want to go! I give religious seasalt soaks and sleep on the other end but it is so so persistent and such a shame as I don't want a annoyed piercing anymore and just one I can finally enjoy.
Have you tried using different types of jewelry and the material its made out of? I would try that.
@@BreeAnn823 so my ear could be sensitive to the metal?? Thank you!
Okay, well I did the same thing (upss) and got a keloid but now it's gone but my helix piercing is a little bit crooked hahaha ohh the struggle hahah I hope you will get rid of yours very soon 😁
They are finally starting to go down and go away! I'm having the most trouble with the back of them though.
I thought the swatches was a new tattoo! Lol I actually thought it was kinda unique and cute at first
haha nope! No new tattoos! Just swatches from a previous video. :)
I was dealing with a keloid on the left side of my new septum piercing a few weeks ago that hurt like a bitch. So I did the sea salt paste and omg it does work!! It just takes time, but it's gone thank you Bree😁👍
Yay! You're so welcome! I'm so glad it worked!
Awesome video. Love you 😊❤️
Thank you for watching Jody! Love you!
I understand.. I got lazy once and my new rook got infected and learned a quick lesson.. it happens 🤷🏾♀️
It sure does! We're all human!
Holy shit you have the prettiest eyes !!!! WOWWWW
What are the signs and symptoms of keloids?? Is it something a doctor can lance if need be??
"Keloids" are considered a medical condition. The ones you see on piercings are considered "hypertrophic scarring" but they are referred too as "keloids" in the piercing world by some people. If it's a medical condition a doctor can treat it yes
I have one on my helix for a while now, and tea tree oil makes it worse for some reason..... idk why and i don’t know how to get rid of the bump without it
Try my sea salt paste method. :)
I got one because the hairstylist pull it when it got caught with the comb it was an accident but it hurts so much
Dude I HATE when that happens! It hurts SO much!
You're very Gorgeous. Thank you for sharing this video.
You're welcome! Thank you for watching!
truth be told i still knock my helix piercing even with a travel pillow LOL. i've had mine since november. it takes the littlest tug for mine to swell.
Same girl!
😂😂your facial expression...it’s an expression of speech!! 😂😂
LOL
Is witch hazel too harsh to use on keloids?
You can use witch hazel! :)
😂 I love you! You're so funny!
Hahahaha, love you!
Kinda like herpes..I was done. Never laughed so hard..love you chica.. p.s..your makeup looks flawless today.. eyes are to kill for..tutorial pls
Virgo Girls Are Beautiful... 🌹
We appreciate that! :D
I’m a Virgo ☺️☺️
What did I do to deserve a new Bree video? 😂
Because you're awesome! Duh!
"A lot of people say don't use Q Tips" Hmm, never heard that one. I wonder why?
It is possible that fibers of the cotton can get into your piercing and therefore cause irritation. Similar to getting hair into it while piercing or changing it, happened to me once and I Iearned my lesson 😂
Some people say the fibers on the q-tip can get 'caught' on the piercing and irritate it. I have never had that issue.
I haven't either 😊
I have a questions since you seem to know a lot about piercing. I have a helix piercing and a daith piercing where huge keloids has being formed although I follow your suggestions I wonder in your opinion does pregnancy has anything to do with why those keloids are not going anywhere.
I know this question is not for me, but I had a Hypertrafic scar aka a keloid on my daith peircing and I had to get it re-peirced because it formed due to my daith not getting peirced in the correct spot. I would ask a proffeshanal peircer in your area and see what he/she suggest to do. I would probably wait until a bit until after your baby is born and if you decide to nurse I'd wait before getting anything re-peirced. Sorry for any spelling errors and I hope I make sence.
Tea Tree oil and Dial soap worked great for me
Yes Dial soap would be great for them. :)
Is your daith not healed yet?? It's been years.
My daith has been healed for many years now.
@@BreeAnn823 I thought maybe it is not healed. You still have the same jewellery on . Nice anyways
I have the same jewelry in because I like it.
@@BreeAnn823 oh ok. You look beautiful like always. Nice video
They still look badass even with the keloids, I'd love full ears but I'm such a pussy with cartilage piercings😅 (also you look so cute with your hair tucked back😍)
So am I! But I don't know why I keep getting them LMFAO!
I love tea tree oil. Because of the way I flip flop sleep I can only get piercing on one side heal then the other. The pillow with hole is just a pain when flopping everywhere. You cracked me up. I hope they heal quick for you. How else would you put the cleaner on but with a clean new tip.?
Yeah same here! Probably why I avoided getting one for so long! haha
I recently got my helix pierced I will get so angry if I knock it 😂
It hurts SO bad! lmao you never realize how much you bump your ears until you get ear piercings lol
BreeAnn Barbie hope ur piercings heal happily without any trauma hehe
Keloids: The herpes of piercings 😂
Loved it Bree!
It's so true! lmfao! Love youuu!
I found my earring on the floor 🙀
Oh no! were you able to get it back in?
I had to go to the piercing shop and have them put it back in
I also changed my conch to a hoop and put a really pretty cubic zerconia cluster and I bought a Rebecca minkoff purse and I bought a really pretty sterling silver moon necklace made in Nopal
Kinda like herpes.... I CACKLED 😂😂😂
What you are talking about isn't keloids and they don't look like, nor should they be treated the same way. Keloids are a medical condition that need to be diagnosed by a doctor and needs medical treatment (multiple cortisone shots are a common treatment) to be removed. What you likely have are hypertrophic scar tissue (irritation bumps) and those go away without medical intervention and are way more common than keloids. Typically you want to figure out what is causing the irritation (either physical trauma or chemical irritation) and find a way to avoid that irritant (stop sleeping in it, avoid harsh products, need a different size/style of jewelry, etc). Misusing the terms is as harmful as mixing up any other medical conditions.
Another person who didn't watch the entire video. :) I explain that dear.
@@BreeAnn823 I watched the entire thing. But what good comes from continuing to use the wrong medical condition when you even say that you know that it isn't what you have? People with keloids can't use any of your advice and could be harming themselves by following it instead of seeking medical advice.
Sounds like a personal problem if people take a youtube video as medical advice. Not my problem.
@@BreeAnn823 Why not use your large platform to educate people by using the correct term? You have the ability to help further people's piercing knowledge but you said you don't want to use the correct term because it is commonly called that. But the reason the general public calls it that is because they are getting misinformed by people who aren't doing their due diligence to put out accurate information. And to be honest, I was totally surprised that you chose to use the incorrect condition since I thought you wanted to help educate people on all things piercing related.
