What could be done to manage keloids that are itchy?

Question

Hi doctor,

My issue is that I had my ears pierced a few years ago. But it did not heal well, and for the last four years, there has been a pea-sized keloid on the back of both ears. They do not hurt, but they can be itchy.

But it makes me nervous. It does not appear to be a good situation. Is there anything you can recommend to help me get rid of keloid? I am not interested in getting steroid shots. I want to get rid of my keloids naturally. Please help.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

Keloid is an abnormal growth of fibrous tissues caused by a stimulus such as an abrasion, wound, or cut. It is not painful but unappealing and makes the bearer uncomfortable. It does not happen overnight, but it does take time. As a result, healing takes time.

I hope this helps.

Please revert so I can assist you further.

Thank you.
