After piercing an extra earring hole, the Lady battles keloid and ends up in the hospital.

The story of a young Nigerian lady who had surgery and further treatments after suffering a keloid from a second ear piercing has been shared.

In a now-viral video, TikTok user @_therealnugwa described how a minor piercing became a health problem two years later, with a peanut-sized keloid growing there.

“If only I knew what was waiting for me,” she wrote as the caption for the video.

She disclosed that despite having a good operation, cryotherapy is necessary to stop the keloid from coming back.

“My doctor stated there’s a strong chance for it to grow back,” she continued. I recently had surgery, therefore in order to prevent it from growing back, I still need to do something called cryotherapy.

While some people merely sympathized with the woman, many others who had like encounters have subsequently recounted their own ordeal in the now-viral thread.

“Story of my life 😂 after third ear lobe and after two years of piercing it 🥺 medically removed it and it is growing back,” responded social media user @Sugar 🍫🧚🏽‍♀️. My heart is broken by it.

The same thing happened to me; I had surgery three times since it kept happening, another user, @jiddarhusman, commented. I got pierced again after a lengthy course of therapy, and now I have three piercings 🥰.
