Keloids usually are not medically dangerous, but they may affect the cosmetic appearance. In some cases, they may spontaneously reduce in size over time. Removal or reduction may not be permanent, and surgical removal may result in a larger keloid scar.
Complications:
Psychological distress if keloid is large or disfiguring
Recurrence of keloid
Discomfort, tenderness, irritation of the keloid
Calling your health care provider:
Call your health care provider if keloids develop and removal or reduction is desired, or new symptoms develop.

They are, in effect, a form of scar tissue. Tea is not going to anything. The trick is not to let them form.. once they take shape then, like any scar, they are not going away except over time. Virtually any cut that goes below the surface skin is going to create some kind of scar.

You may have an infection.... clean it well with hydrogen peroxide and then apply antibiotic ointment work into the piercing.
good luck
