This sounds like granuloma, which is very similar to a keloid only oral. The only way we have found to effectively decrease granuloma growth is rinsing with warm sea salt water 4-6 times a day. Use approximately 1 tsp sea salt to 4 ounces warm water. Gargle and spit in 30sec intervals 3-4 times and abstain from liquids and foods for the next 30min. Over a period of the following few days the skin should appear to be getting whiter and shrinking.
