piercing bump or keloid?

  • 3 months old
  • barbell
  • i haven’t downsized yet
  • saline solution every morning and night

so i got a bottom navel piercing and after a few weeks it started forming this bump which has progressively gotten uglier/discolored. because of the placement sometimes it is hard to not have it covered. whenever it is irritated the bump is enlarged and tender. i started doing a mixture of tea tree oil, witch hazel, and distilled water (advice from a piercer) and i do believe it is working but i can’t see that being a permanent solution as the bump is quite hard. i am bummed out because i have a ton of piercings and this is the first time something like this has happened and of course it is super visible since i wear cropped shirts often. any advice? should i remove the piercing? the piercing site itself is healed and has no issues or discharge.

Do not use witch hazel or tea tree oil, only saline once a day. Twice could be drying it out. But first and foremost see a doctor and a different piercer
