hi norman,

i appreciate your trust in me but i can't give medical advice here nor can i speak intelligently about radiation therapy for keloids since i am not a radiation oncologist.

best,

hi dr lam im in dallas texas and i have small keloids on both earlobs.i am african american and i beleive my earlobs are scared as well because i wear clip ons to cover the embarassing scars.

what do you recommend i do to have them removed

and do you guys accept private insurance .please help

[samlammd]

sorry, i don't accept private insurance. if you need to do this with insurance, you should probably find someone that can take it. whatever you do, don't just remove them. you must plan for aggressive, repeat injections afterward or radiation otherwise your keloids will mushroom into massive basketballs. aftercare is even more important that excision.

Stop wasting your money on useless risky treatments. Unless white people really see this as a disease that worths doing research for, (which is very unlikely to a happen considering the number of keloid patients who are white), we keloid sufferers will forever be cursed.

I was just wondering if ANYBODY out there has had any success using the radiation therapy treatment? Please PLEASE - any information would be helpful! thanks

Being a victim of the keloid curse myself for many years..I can confidently tell you that none procedures nowadays really work to permanently remove keloids. Forget about the painful injection and incision and laser treatment. None of those treatments seem to be able to effectively control the reoccurence of the keloid scars on my chests and back. I was treated by the best plastic surgeon in Cali in 2002 and his surgical and laser treatment did not stop the keloids from coming back.
