How To Treat Keloids?
Hello, I have had previous keloids on my ears. They were reccurrent even after removal until I got radiation treatment. I have had other piercings such as nose, lip, navel and no keloid! I would like to get a clitoral hood piercing. What are me risks of getting a keloid?

Keloids often do not need treatment. If the keloid bothers you, the following things can be done to reduce the size:
Corticosteroid injections
Freezing (cryotherapy)
Laser treatments
Radiation
Surgical removal
Silicone gel or patches
Many of these treatments can cause a larger keloid scar to form.
