How to remove keloids from your ears?

i didnt know i was prone to keliods i didnt even know it was a keliod because i looked at pictures of keloids and mine doesnt even look like one all it is is the whole to my piercing from when i was a baby and its darker around the whole but its flat, mabey its just a scab not a keliod, most people are telling me its a scab but one person said its a keliod so now im freeking out and just want to know how to remove it just in case it actually is one so actually i shouldnt of thought about before i got pierced if i didnt know at the time:/

After 15 or so years I’m sure a scab would have cleared up by now. I’d have got it checked out, some can’t be removed - they can only get worse. Any lumps surrounding a piercing could possibly be a piercing. The basic thing is if it hurts, oozes pus and/or bleeds then it’s not a keloid. I’d have get it checked out just to be sure since I was about to pierce my entire ear. It’s risky business

it doesnt hurt but it bleeds evry time i try to repierc it and put my earings back in one of my friends said it might be a scab from taking it in and out again because when you do that it keeps ripping, but im not sure, so ill just get it checked

Yeah I’m sorry, I’m not like a pro in this so that’s as much help I can give you I suppose. I just hope for your sake that it’s not a keloid :]

lol thanx

Are you positive its jkeloid and not hypertrophic scarring? Keloids are a red-ish purple-ish color, theyre like scar tissue that grows and grows, the only way to get rid of them is surgery, if it’s hypertrophic scarring then it’s a white bump of scar tissue that doesnt grow bigger than the piercing. Hopefully thats what it is. If so, drop me a line and i’ll give you a method of getting rid of it.

what you described is what mine kindof looks like it hasnt grown it isnt really that noticable, nobody noticed until i pointed it out

Keloids cannot be removed at home, you either have to have it surgically removed (which still holds a chance that it will grow back) or have a series of steroid injections to encourage it to get smaller and eventually disappear. What you have may not be a keloid though, it could just be scar tissue. I’d get it checked out.
