Avatar n tn The surgeon pulled my chin up, and made a few stiches around the ear. I have developed 1 inch keloids around both ears and now have to use my hair to try to cover them. The doctor has given me 2 steroid shots, but nothing much has happened. I'm sick about this as my hair is thin & they are very noticeable. HELP! What can I do????
Avatar f tn Im 16, Ive never had sex or even my first kiss and I went to the doctor because i have Keloids on my vagina. I shaved when I was very young because i thought hairs were weird. The doctor said that they were Keloids but why do they keep coming? I dont shave but i do trim. Will they forever keep popping up? I know about the injections they give, but is there an another way for my Keloids to at lease decrease in size and decrease the rate of formation?
Avatar n tn If it is too tiredsome to put the oil on all your keloids than you can put the oil on some of your keloids and use other treatments for the rest and compare.It can be very uncomfortable when the keloid itches more because of the oil......I'm getting my large keloid removed+ radiotherphy so i'll be putting oil on it when it heals.....
Avatar n tn Hi, I have seen comments about the correlation of isotretinoin (accutane) and keloids. I'm prone to develop keloids on the chest, shoulder and back. Is there a chance to develop more keloids during and after the course of taking isotretinoin? Please advise.
Avatar f tn IF you are one of those people who form keloids, I would NOT get any tattoo. And since you HAVE keloids that you are having injected...that's a pretty BIG red flag for tattoos.
Avatar m tn Many people who get keloids from ear/nose piercings use tea tree oil to shrink them and eventually they fall off or fade away. I was wondering if tea tree oil can be used on keloid scars NOT growing outward from the skin, as in keloid scars on your shoulders and back. They are more flat and less ball-like compared to piercing keloids that can easily fall off. Would it shrink? Would it make it worse and grow?
Avatar n tn I am an African-American female with large keloids taking over both of my earlobes. I am a college student and my current medical insurance does not cover the cost of keloid removals, it is considered cosmetic surgery. I don't think anyone can truely imagine how it feels to walk around in a society so uptight about outward apperances, to understand how uncomfortable and embarrassing it is to live with these keloids. I feel like damage goods!
Avatar n tn I went too quickly from a smaller to a bigger size, and now I have these really ugly keloids on my ears where I guaged them. I am hoping there is something that I can do at home to reduce their size or get rid of them. They are somewhat painful but not if I am leaving them alone. I want to gauge my ears again and I think if I make the holes bigger, the keloids will stretch out and not appear visible. Do you have any suggestions for me?
Avatar m tn I drew the blood from my fingers which bled easily because of keloids. A couple of weeks ago I had cortisone injections into those keloids, and now I am curious whether the cortisone would affect the results of the test? Since cortisone is an immunosuppressive, would it eliminate HIV antibodies in my blood from the keloids so that the test wouldn't be able to detect any?
Avatar n tn The treatment of choice for keloids is usually an injection of corticosteroid drugs such as cortisone directly into the lesion. These injections cause the keloid to become atrophic, or thinner, and are repeated every three to four weeks until the keloid has been resolved to the individual's satisfaction. Other therapies include laser treatment or radiation therapy, and topical treatments are undergoing study. Let us know if you need any other information. Regards.

Avatar f tn I had a 6 cms keloid on the center of my chest for quite over three years. I went to a dermatologist and she injected the keloid with steroids for over 4 months but to no avail, so I stopped going to her. A week ago, small red pimples formed all over the surface surrounding the keloid, so I treated them with a tretinoin (0,5 g) paste, they seemed to get small, and suddenly they turned to big red rash.
Avatar f tn I have been diagnosed by doctors over the years with different skin conditions and viruses includeing Psoriasis, keratosis pilaris, pilar cysts, keloids, genital warts, and Molluscum Contagiosum. I have also been told by professionals that I take longer to heal than average and I scar easily. I am concerned that there is a bigger problem causing these things to occur in/on my skin.
Avatar m tn https://imgur.com/a/wZn0rR3 (NSFW). I'm from Serbia and here circumcision isn't common thing; I don't have friends who are circumcised to ask them about it. Are those bumps keloids? I'm really worried about how it will look.. I'm using BioOil and Contractubex.
Avatar n tn Differentials here may be flat warts, moles, and keloids. Keloids however are elevated and have a shiny surface. Moles are usually dark brown or black in color. Others may be skin colored or light colored also. Flat warts are slightly elevated but usually have a rough or coarse surface.
