If you can go a month without trying to pinch or peel them with your fingers, they would die off naturally. The problem most times is people pinching and chopping them in an effort to get rid of them.

The emboldened is a big fat lie. You don't know what you are talking about. The OP's only hope is steroidal injections by a certified dermatologist.

I did this to mine for almost a year (I had a lot).
1. The injections are quite painful because the keloids are directly injected.

2. It's a monthly treatment, so it firms a regular item on the budget

3. I gave up on it because it didn't disappear as fast as promised, moreover, those that were flat started growing again

You supposed not to stop using the razor blade, hadn't be you continue,it eventually stop by itself.well as you already stopped.



SOLUTION:
SOAK A PIECE OF ALUM INTO A SMALL CONTAINER TILL IT DISOLVE,THEN SHAVE WITH RAZOR BLADE AGAIN, IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE SHAVE APPLY THE DISOLVE SOLUTION OF THE ALUM ON IT.LEAVE IT TILL IT DRY AND TURN WHITE(IT MAY PEPPER A BIT,DON'T BOTHER CUZ IT'S NORMAL).
NB;TRY THIS AND THANK ME LATER.

I am a doctor and speaking from experience. The treatment includes measures to prevent recurrence.

Well, except you keep taking steroid and cortisone injections to level the area, the scars will surely come back.

I have the type of skin that develops keloid easily.
The 1st one started in secondary school. I went to LUTH, I was told they will operate it. It was operated, and I immediately went to National Hospital Abuja for Radiotherapy to prevent a recurrence. The machine was only available at EKO hospital in Lagos and it was too expensive.
A few years later, it started growing again, I went to AB bumps somewhere in Ikeja (I'm not sure they are still in Ikeja, it's been more than 10 years). They used a machine that uses liquid nitrogen to kill the cells. It stopped growing and all I have is a scar at the site.

A few years later I had a surgical procedure, with a long suture line, and it developed keloids which was growing. I went to Dermatolgy dept in LASUTH. I did several tests and I was prescribed an injection that I was taking weekly. It shrunk the keloids and stopped the growth.


Please what is the name of the injection?

does the cream work without taking the injections?
Yes sir. If it's not a big keloid, or probably an hypertrophic scar.
But very slowly I must add.

There's a drug( injection) that is used in treating it, but it has to be administered by a medical personnel, preferably a medical doctor, don't ask how I know about it, I am a male nurse.
you just succeeded in saying nothing just to let us know that you are a male nurse. What's so special about being a male nurse? No be your mates be doctors?

use skineal brother. Immediately after bathing with hot water. It's better you shave first before start using it. Skineals works amazingly fast. You'll come back to testify. I pray God grants you speedy recovery. It's very embarrassing at times

Sabadon:
Corticosteroid injections(like Triamcinolone) basically works, you could also use liquid nitrogen or any other form of cryotherapy. Surgical excision basically has almost a 100% chance of recurrence rate.

In summary visiting a dermatologist is your best bet, meanwhile, avoid clean shave cos i can tell you, you got this from a hair ingrowth as a result of clean shave


Those steroid injections are the absolute worst, expensive, freaking painful and there’s no guarantee it won’t come back
I don’t recommend
Re: How Do I Get Rid Of My Keloids? by kokoye(m): 8:25pm On Sep 12, 2021
Epiderm cream (in a blue tube) worked for me. Now you wouldnt know I had keloids at the back of my neck for over 10 years.
I've not even used the Epiderm in over 5 years but my skin is as smooth as the day before I started having the shave bumps.

Good luck.

Pls I have same problem with him my own is at
the back of my head have been taking the same kenalog injection with mc koll cream to rub on the surface of the keloid I want to ask how many times is Good for me to be injected In a month because I take my own injection once once a month I want to know if am doing it right

Twice a month. That's every 2 weeks but since op's keloid is small he can apply Funbact A to the affected area twice daily. It contains Betamethasone which is a steroid that acts as an anti-inflammatory agent. It will stop it from growing bigger and if used for long may start reducing the size of the keloid. Triamcinolone injection(kenalog) is quicker but you may need a dermatologist to prescribe the right dose for you as it is a powerful corticosteroid that can have some unwanted side effects.
