Every bump on every piercing is not a keloid. Keloids only happen if you're really prone to them... if someone gets one on a piercing they've probably had them before. Bumps just happen, usually because the jewelry's moving around too much. They can be treated fairly easily if you faithfully do sea salt soaks/chamomile compresses.

You are right that every bump that develops around a piercing is not a keloid but the statement that keloids only happen if you are prone to them is incorrect. They can form when you have a trauma to your skin. Irritation of you skin in the dermis layers can also cause keloids to develop. I suggested that it may be a keloid because of the time frame of three months and the daily rotating of the jewelry for the first 3 weeks. Those are both factors that promote keloid development. It could be just simple scarring at the piercing site but it could be cyst development. Keloids much more common than you might think especially in cartilage areas of the body.

Sounds like it could just be from your jewellery bumping or irritating the skin behind your ear.
