It's called a keloid. Different piercing artists will say that they happen for different reasons. Best thing to do is keep cleaning it and DO NOT pick at it! It will go away.

If you have a bump or sore around your piercing, it is more than likely not a keloid and it is easily removable. Find out what it could be and how to get rid of it. See similar questions...

The best thing to do when you get pregnant is to keep in touch with your piercer and inform her/him of your new situation. Since the shape of your stomach will change and stretch, you can anticipate some change in your piercing. However, this change varies widely for people. Not everyone changes their jewelry as they progress, but some women find that the most comfortable option for pregnancy isn't the one they started out wearing. See similar questions...

You will have to change your piercing to a P.T.F.E. This is a biologically inert plastic barbell, which will bend as your stomach expands. If you do keep your metal jewellery in, it will be pushed out as your belly gets larger. There is a range of 'keepers' which are clear plastic and very small. These fit into the piercing (e.g. tongue) and can only be noticed by you. See similar questions...

No. The carpet around both the driver's seat and the passenger's seat should be continuous and without gaps. If there is a crack near the base of the driver's seat, this indicates that the seat base cover is not installed properly. This may have happened upon access to the vehicle's battery, which is found beneath the driver's seat and for which access requires removal of the driver's seat and surrounding facia.

The little numbers are "user flags". When you or a program sets any of the user flags 1 through 5, little numbers corresponding to the set flags are displayed at the top of the screen. The HP uses negative flags for setting various modes and functions, while positive flags were reserved for the use of the user. To set a user flag type the number, then SF. To clear a user flag type the number, then CF. Some programs will use the user flags without you being aware of it. See similar questions...

With the mini-tuck the naval is left in its original position. With a full tuck, which also includes the tightening of the underlying muscle tissue, the navel is removed and repositioned at the end of the surgery. See similar questions...

A younger naval tends to be round, but with maturity the naval tends to flatten horizontally. A tummy tuck does not necessarily make the naval round again, but thanks to the tightened skin after a tuck, it is generally rounder and younger looking than before the surgery. See similar questions...

All of the piercings are done using sterile disposable piercing needles. For many of the placements I use forceps, which are applied to hold the area securely for the piercing. These may also help to numb the region by reducing the circulation. Certain areas, such as the nasal septum, Prince Albert, and vertical clitoral hood piercings use a device called an NRT for needle receiving tube. These are locations where forceps are not practical or necessary, nor comfortable or safe. See similar questions...

Many users have reported problems if the MD recorder experiences shock and vibration while recording. Apparently the read-ahead buffer also works for recording, but strong disturbances could cause the laser to erase other spots on the MD, like the TOC or existing tracks, thus damaging previous recordings. To remain on the safe side, the MD recorder should not be subjected to shock or vibration while recording. See similar questions...
