[Creolebway]

Keloids are forever. You can't fix them.

I got a Keloid when I was 18 Yrs Old In 2009, Size Of A Grape on the back of my Ear... So embarrassin Tried EVERYTHING !!! NOTHING WORKED.. Order Sum Surgical Sciccors online.. held ice on ear 10 min ,burned scissors til it turned red.. then I cut it off and pour a bottle of WARM seasalt water on my ear... I picked tha keloid up in threw that shit in the Garbage my ear Barely bled or hurted..every nite I put a bandage on it for 8 months... 11 months later no keloid and ear looks 80% BETTER!!

radiation therapy works well with keloids after surgery

[babiimak3r]

@rudeboyazab i had radiation done on my keloid. i had to go about three times and my keloid returned.. im going back again in jan and hopefully this time around it goes great!

[rudeboyazab]

@babiimak3r It returned? hmmm did it return to it's original form?

[babiimak3r]

@rudeboyazab it returned to at a smaller size then before and different form but it is still noticeable.

[rudeboyazab]

@babiimak3r Well, when I had mine done it was flat and the scar tissue is currently healing from it. I had radiation done three times as well and so far it hasn't returned but my radiation doctor is constantly checking on it and making sure that it's not coming back. Im also getting steroid injection. I guess it all comes down not how hard your Doctors take care of you, my Doctors always want me to comeback for checkups and even give me rides when I don't have trasnsportation. good luck:)

I found Dr. Blaine's complete scar care treatment works really well on keloids, hypertrophic, acne and surgical scars. The treatment has a silicon gel-pad that you wear for 12 hours and then a liquid gel that you apply for the rest of the day. You can buy it at Longs Drug/CVS and Walmart for like $20. It's good stuff.

[babiimak3r]

i agree i got mines in 2007 and it did come back and i had radiation treatment after and everything but it cost so much for everything in total i never went back from my injections cause they cost too much too.. so now im wish i did.. cause i wouldnt have this big mother you know what behind my ear!!

[genoskasama]

Great Video

Is there any products that could help Keloid? Mederma? Vitamin e?

Yes and how much would this cost lets say for a keloid of size of pencil eraser????

Dr Ellis responds: With good surgical technique and the close apporximation of tissue, we hope to minimize keloids. Once they start to form we partner with our plastic surgeons to minimze/revise them as best as possible.

[herbiethelk]

@tkflex my plastic surgeon reccommended kelocote. It seems to work and you can buy it on ebay/amazon

[genoskasama]
