Hey, guess where these came from! I think you’ll be … whatever. First one to guess correctly gets a strip of Dramamine and a blast from one of those Men in Black memory erasers. Guh.
Keloid removal by Brooklyn’s resident shaman, IAM: xPUREx at Pure Body Arts. Those suckers developed on ear piercings the client got when she was 12 and in which she wore jewelry for only a few months. The scar tissue kept growing and, after years of being turned down by doctors for treatment unable to manage getting it taken care of by cosmetic surgeons, she went this route.
Squick yourselves to sleep, ModBlog, and we’ll see you in the morning.

These were either testicles or keloids… I guessed right.

Hells bells, why would this person wait so long to get help for such a painful-looking eyesore?
My ears weep. She should just cut hers off and start over. Goddamn.

This hurt my stomach more than any odd genital mod I’ve seen on modblog.
Poor girl, I don’t know what I would’ve done if I had to be a teenager living with those.
Then again its probably like my eczema in response “what’s that from? Does it hurt? Is it contagious?”

I don’t know how much it was that a doctor “wouldn’t” help her, but more that they had no idea what was causing it (i was told they said a “genetic defect”, even though she had other piercings that healed without issue), thus “couldn’t” help her. Her insurance wouldn’t cover the cost of surgery, as it fell into the category of cosmetic work, and she simply couldn’t afford it, as far as i know.
I suspect, if a closer look were to be taken at the scar tissue with x-ray equipment dissection and a microscope, flakes of low quality metal(s) were probably leached from the initial jewelry into the tissue and never broken down or expelled by her body, which caused the continuing reaction. Just a guess…..
