Keloid Treatment by Marthiee(f): 5:45pm On Apr 21, 2018

This is urgent. I need answers. Please has anyone here successfully flattened, removed or treated a keloid before especially one on the earlobe ? If yes what procedure did you follow?

Sorry I don't get you. I'm new to nairaland

A warm compress shrinks and treats a cyst on the earlobe. Warm compress brings the bacteria and pus close to the skin surface and makes it easy to remove

Yes, it can be treated

Re: Keloid Treatment by Marthiee(f): 7:56am On May 01, 2018

I did a surgery in 2018, then took intralesion steroid injections on the spot for a medically-specified period of time. Also used and still using kelocote silicone scar gel cream on that spot for years now and I don't think I'll ever stop.
It's called the triple therapy treatment, it makes recurrence rate a lot lower.
Surgery+intralesion injections+silicone scar gels.
(I'll recommend kelocote scar gel to you as the scar gel you should get. It's on the high side but still worth the price nonetheless.)

please where can I do this procedure in Nigeria?. And how can I get this gel? Please can I have your digits for more information? Just sent you a DM. Awaiting your response. Thanks

Re: Keloid Treatment by Marthiee(f): 8:50am On Aug 16, 2021

I did my procedure at unth in Enugu. The doctors there were really nice. I got my first gel on konga (6g) at 15,000 or so and the second (15g) for 25,000 on jiji (N.B: the prices are estimated because I can't fully remember how much I got them. They may be higher or lower). Find trustworthy vendors because the product is sort of scarce and you may get a fake. If you have the money, order from amazon or wish or any trustworthy abroad sale site. Where is your keloid located?

Thanks for the info. I'm currently close to Enugu now. I'm in Abakaliki so I could visit unth. Do you know if i could still do the procedure there? How much did the procedure cost? I've bought some silicon gel cream from jumia early this year but it didn't work. I'll like to see a picture of the one you used to know exactly how it looks like (if possible). The keloid is located on my hand and leg.

It probably didn't work because of the size of the scar or the effectiveness of the gel itself. Silicone gels are meant for smaller scars or after scar-removal.
I'm not a doctor though, they'll tell you best.

This is different from what one I used. I got mine in jumia for 6k. The keloid is not that big sha. How much did the surgery cost? I'll check for the gel on Amazon or AliExpress hopefully I'll see it. Pls reply Ur mail. Thanks soo much.

I'm a student with the benefit of NHIS (a health insurance program which takes care of most of my cost as a unn student). It didn't cost up to 30k (surgery alone) but if you add other things I was supposed to buy, then it didn't cost up to 60k

I'm not sure I trust the ones on AliExpress to be the originals. In contrast to the Amazon and the manufacturers sites, their prices are a lot lower. On the Manufacturers site, it's about 30dollars while on AliExpress, it's 2-5 dollars.

this was in 2018 to be clear. Things may have changed now

If the keloid isn't that big, why bother with it?

Wow okay so I guess it'll probably be higher in my own case abi cos I'm not a student of unn neither a NHIS beneficiary just a random patient.

lol I just don't like it . Maybe self esteem? I guess so. Actually it's better if it's not there cos it's quite visible. I mean the one on my hand.
