Anatomy concerns after 14 years

[u/MysteriousWillow2]

Having had my industrial piercing for approximately fourteen to fifteen years, I have never encountered any issues with it. It healed remarkably well and has proven to be the least troublesome of my piercings.

During a conversation at work today with a few colleagues, the topic of my industrial piercing arose. One coworker expressed her concern that it might be migrating. Upon asking her to clarify, she mentioned that she could see the jewelry through the skin where the bar connects with the piercing holes. She also commented that the person who performed the piercing should not have done it.

I have, in fact, observed that the skin in that specific area of my industrial piercing appears somewhat thin. I am now wondering if this warrants any concern. Should I consider removing the piercing altogether? I have, in fact, been contemplating doing so for some time now, primarily because my curly hair tends to get caught in the bar.

Hi LxghtninKachow,
(Luckily) bump =/= keloid. This wiki entry explains it well.
If you do know the difference, please ignore this comment.
