There is a way to remove them, theres this study that if you freeze the keloid it will fall off, although your doctor has to freeze it. I recently had a keloid due to a navel piercing but my piercer said to get bayer asprin wet it a little to create a paste and cover your keloid with the paste. I worked for me, it gradually got smaller, and went away. I also used tea tree oil, it helps ALOT. Because a keloid is puss filled and bayer asprin & tea tree oil draws out the puss from the keloid.

@slimneeka thanks a lot for the info!

@hitheresailor There are two meds that are required for use of 8 weeks. One is an anti- biotic called Mupirocin. This meds prevents infection on the incision site. The other med is called Zyclara. It is very expensive. I have insurance and the insurance didnt accept the generic brand (Imiquimod), So my dermatologist had to re write a prescription for Zyclara. This med cost $800. I had to ask for a discount card from the doc's office to cover the $300 co pay.

@slimneeka Please see my comment, I was never aware that they had meds that keep keloids from coming back. Can you please let me know what the name of these meds are? thanks.

Whatever you guys with keloids do don't get surgery to remove them. I got surgery a year ago not knowing what I had was keloids. I only found out after they send what they removed to the lab, before that both me and the doctor thought they were cysts. Anyway after the surgery they came back. What else can you expect by cutting a scar, it will just create a bigger scar. I will get treatment again but this time I will go for the type that freezes the keloid to remove it.

I am back. I just got one of my keloids removed from my left ear. The doc numbed my ear first, then he cut it off. This procedure was not expensive at all. It cost $535 for the surgery. However, it is good to have insurance bc the meds that you need to prevent the keloids from coming back costs $500 as well. Next surgery  Feb 11th 2012

Awww! I have had keloids on my ears for about 8 years as well. I finally got my own insurance and saw a dermatologist 2 weeks ago. I just had my first  child in 09. The scar from the c-section healed as a keloid and it was still pain after for years. The doctor injected my scar on the stomach. I have a surgery for one of my ears on Jan4. After that one, I will see how it is healing, then I will do the other ear. Deb your story like really touched me. I was embarrased as well.

@debobanks I basically took bayer asprin and wet it a bit (only a drop) crushed it and created a paste like substance then I placed it on the keloid, everyone said that the asprin trick works and so does the tea tree oil so I decided to use both. I also put a few drop of tea tree oil on the keloid while the asprin paste was on it. I did this every day twice. and I put tea tree oil on the keloid like every 3 hours or so and it flattened then disappeared. Hope it works for you :-)
