Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
2 years ago I got a bar on my ear I took care of it and cleaned it when I had to . When I hit high school I got on the cheerlead team and we had to take jewelry out , the second day I took it out that nice it started to close and I started to get a bump on my ear then I realized what it was it was a keloid , it started to get bigger from the size it was before what do I do about it .
Keloid is notorious for recurrence. You can plan for surgery but there is always a chance for recurrence. If you are not comfortable with surgery, you can try intra lesional steroid injection. Consult a plastic surgeon and he will direct you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
