I am a 21years old female. I had my ears and nose pierced in November 2019 with gun shots. After I removed the studs, it started swelling and pus oozed out. I removed the studs and pus dried out. On 10th January, 2019, I consulted a, she gave me kenacort injections. Can a keloid have pus?

Hi, If it hurts, seeps, oozes pus and/or bleeds, it's not a keloid; it's probably either an infection or a sebaceous cyst (which can become infected). More information: Infection growths near a piercing occur much more often than keloids and they can happen to a new piercing or even one that is well-established.
