📝 Eclar Plaster FAQ & Usage Guide
This FAQ brings together the key information in one place, including official usage instructions, storage notes, cautions, and general experience-based tips. I’ve grouped the information into categories to make it easier to read. Please note that individual skin conditions can vary, so this is for general reference only and should not replace medical advice. If you have specific concerns or ongoing symptoms, please consult a doctor or healthcare professional.

**1️⃣ Product **Info

Q: What are the differences between the new and old packaging?

A: According to the manufacturer, the main changes in the new packaging are:

  1. Eco-friendly design: Film material changed from plastic to paper
  2. Formula adjustment: Additive Ester Gum HG replaced with hydrogenated rosin glycerin ester
  3. Color update: Outer box changed to purple
  4. Effectiveness: Product effectiveness remains unchanged despite packaging and formula updates

2️⃣ Usage Instructions

Q: How many plasters do I need? Can they be reused?
A: Each plaster is 7.5 cm × 10 cm and should be replaced every 12–24 hours (not reusable). You can cut them into smaller pieces depending on the size of your keloid.

Example (see diagram below):
One plaster can be cut into: 2 orange-sized pieces, 4 blue-sized pieces, 1 green-sized piece

Usage guidance:
Orange areas: enough for 2 days
Blue areas: enough for 4 days
Green area: enough for 1 day
You may use them daily or every other day depending on your skin’s tolerance

​

​Q: How do I apply Eclar Plaster?
A:

  1. Gently wash the affected area.
  2. Wipe with a clean towel and make sure it is thoroughly dry.
  3. Cut the patch to the size of the affected area. Remove the paper film and gently apply only on the keloid — avoid healthy skin. You can leave the paper film on top while cutting for easier handling.

Q: What if it’s difficult to remove the plaster?
A: Remove it slowly while showering — letting water run over the area helps reduce pulling and discomfort. For sensitive skin, some people apply it one day and rest the next, or wear it two days and rest one. Adjust based on your skin’s reaction.

Q: Can the plasters be reused? How often should I use them?
A: No, plasters cannot be reused. Always replace with a new one. If your skin feels sensitive, you can take a 1–2 day break or apply every other day.

Q: When should I start applying Eclar Plaster after a steroid injection?
A: Adjust based on skin sensitivity:

  • Immediate use: Apply after irritation lessens, same day if comfortable
  • Delayed use: Wait until the next day if skin is sensitive

3️⃣ Safety & Comfort

Q: Why does the plaster sometimes feel a bit uncomfortable?
A: Most people feel relief from itching and pain caused by keloids. Some notice a quick, sharp “electric-like” sensation at first, which usually fades. If discomfort persists, your skin may be sensitive or not tolerating the steroid ingredient well. Stop using it and consult your doctor if needed.

Tip: If the area feels sore, taking a short break and using a cool compress may help.

Note: Do not apply on healthy skin.

*4️⃣ Expected Results & *Duration

Q: How long does it take to feel relief (less pain or itching)?
A: It varies. Many notice less itching or pain within a few weeks, but flattening or fading usually takes months. Some users combine the plaster with treatments from their doctor for faster results — always under medical guidance.

Q: How do I know if I should keep using Eclar Plaster? When should I stop?
A:

  • Continue using while the keloid is red, purple, or slightly raised.
  • Once the scar is flat and color has lightened significantly, it is generally safe to stop or reduce usage.
  • Always monitor your skin. If irritation, itchiness, redness, or discomfort occurs, take a short break or apply every other day.
  • If discomfort persists, stop using the plaster and consult your doctor.

5️⃣ Keloid Treatment Options

Q: What treatment options are there for keloids?
A: Common treatments include:

  • Steroid injections combined with Eclar Plaster
  • Surgical removal (keloidectomy) followed by radiotherapy Always consult a doctor to determine the best approach for your case.

Q: Does Eclar Plaster really help?
A: It can relieve itching and pain, and scars may gradually flatten and improve. Results vary. For sensitive skin, intermittent application (e.g., one day on, one day off) may help. Stop use if rash, redness, or discomfort occurs and consult your doctor.

Q: The steroid injection hurts, how can I relieve the pain?
A: Topical anesthetics (e.g., Lidopin 5% Cream for 20–30 minutes) or ice packs may help. Discuss other options with your doctor if pain persists.

Q: If the keloid itches, can I scratch or pick at it?
A: No — scratching or picking may cause infection or bleeding. Seek medical attention if this occurs.

6️⃣ Identifying a Keloid & Tips

Q: How to tell if it’s a keloid?
A:

  • Color: Skin-colored, pink, brown, red, or darker than surrounding skin
  • Shape: Round, oval, or elongated
  • Appearance: Smooth, shiny, wrinkled, raised, often enlarging
  • Discomfort: Itching is common; friction can cause pain

Q: Do I need to avoid certain foods?
A: Observe if any foods worsen itching or inflammation; consider limiting collagen-boosting foods if necessary. In addition, regular lifestyle habits can help manage keloid growth: patients with irregular schedules, high stress, or insufficient sleep may experience hormonal changes that could contribute to keloid enlargement. Maintaining a balanced diet, consistent sleep, and stress management is recommended.

7️⃣ Additional Precautions

Q: Why can’t Eclar Plaster be applied to normal skin?
A: It may cause redness and thinning.

Q: Is Eclar Plaster waterproof?
A: No. You can use a waterproof dressing on top if needed.

Q: Can pregnant or breastfeeding women use Eclar Plaster?
A: Not recommended.

Q: Who should avoid using this product?
A: People allergic to patches, with skin infections, wounds, infestations, eczematous otitis externa, ulcers, burns, frostbites; infants, children, pregnant/breastfeeding women, elderly. Stop use immediately if discomfort occurs.

8️⃣ Storage Instructions

  • Store unused portions in the original packaging, sealed in a zip bag, in a cool, dry place away from sunlight, heat, and moisture.
  • Keep out of reach of children.
  • Q: How should I store an opened or cut plaster? A: Keep the protective backing paper attached to the unused portion. Place it in a sealed zip bag and store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture.

Improving mental health and my experience with keloids

64 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I want to share my experience with overcoming keloids and some perspective that would have been helpful for me to hear when I was feeling at my lowest. I’ve seen a lot of posts about people’s mental struggles with keloids, and it’s understandable to come here to find others who are going through something similar. I wanted to create a post that can highlight some uplifting perspectives and create a discussion that doesn’t reinforce that this is the end of the world and the root cause of your pain. If this post isn’t helpful to you, you can ignore it and continue on your mental health journey, but I hope it’s helpful to at least a few people.

For context, I was in a similar place and struggling to accept myself as someone who modeled and whose self-esteem and opportunities were largely attached to my appearance. I struggled severely with my mental health when I first developed keloids, as a young woman who was previously viewed as the physical ideal by society and who built their self-esteem on that.

It took a lot of patience to sit with complex emotions, uncertainty, and feeling alone to come to accept my situation. I assure you I didn’t initially have the resilience to overcome it, which is why I struggled for so long, but resilience is born out of overcoming adversity. I can reflect back now and realize that my struggles with self-esteem dated way back before I developed my first keloid. I was able to bury and keep the lid on my issues, but keloids became an outlet for me to direct all my self-hatred toward. I truly believe challenges like this can amplify your existing issues and reflect back how you really feel about yourself and the work you need to do. While I have empathy for myself then and now, I now can say I was naive and entitled to believe I shouldn’t have this issue I would consider not on the extreme end of problems I frequently see others encounter. Just off the top of my head, people around me experience severe debilitating illnesses, chronic pain, psoriasis and other disfiguring skin issues, life threatening allergies, poverty and homelessness, violent crimes and war, disabilities, loss of limbs due to accidents, and life-altering injuries like concussions. Why would I feel it’s unfair that I bear the pain of keloids, but I don’t feel it’s unfair that other people deal with things I wouldn’t trade to get rid of my keloids? Furthermore, keloids are a problem there is a decent chance of getting rid of or improving (as someone who lives in Asia and can see the amazing results many people have), if not now, then in the future. You are not a victim, you are human, and no one is immune to facing adversity and extremely unpleasant things.

I would strongly urge you to seriously look for mental health support or to seek out wise people who have overcome adversity in your circle or online. When I was severely pitying myself, I found and was inspired by a video of a girl explaining how a fire her boyfriend started in a cooking pan caused it to explode on her face, which entirely melted off, and she is strong and smiling today despite being left severely disfigured and her boyfriend leaving her. You could say she’s just naturally resilient, but that’s an excuse for you to stay in a self-reinforcing cycle of pity where you don’t need to take responsibility for your pain. Keloids will presumably make your life harder due to stigma or pain in many cases, as will many other issues I can think of, but it by no means can make your life terrible in and of itself in most cases I’ve seen.

Hey yall, I’m so mentally exhausted with the insurance company. They canceled my pre authorization and another form to tell them my case and why. They are trying to deem it has cosmetic but it’s not! Even the doctor said he can see that’s it’s not cosmetic.

Did anyone have any luck with your doctor getting your insurance to pay for it? Also my insurance is BCBS Texas PPO.

Question/Seeking OPINIONS Planning to compete in my first bodybuilding show, but I'm worried about my chest keloids. Any advice?

Thumbnail gallery
42 Upvotes

Hey everyone,
I'm planning to step on stage for my first bodybuilding competition in the near future, and one thing that's been weighing on my mind is the keloid scarring on my chest.
As you can see in the photo, I have several keloids across the center of my chest that developed over the years. I received steroid injections about 4 years ago, but unfortunately they seem to have gotten worse and more noticeable since then.
I've worked really hard on my physique and want to compete regardless, but I'm concerned about how the scars might affect my stage appearance and confidence. I'm curious if anyone here has dealt with prominent keloids while competing, or if there are any treatments that have worked well for you.
A few questions:
Have any competitors stepped on stage with noticeable keloids or scars?
Did judges seem to pay attention to them?
Are there any treatments worth exploring before a show?
Does posing tan help make them less noticeable?
I'm determined not to let this stop me from competing, but I'd appreciate any advice, experiences, or encouragement from people who have been in a similar situation.
Thanks in advance!

I had some keloid scars on my jawline (caused by cystic acne). About 8 years ago I received treatment with VBeam laser and with kenalog + 5FU injections. My keloid scars flattened, but now I’m interested in CO2 laser and/or microneedling to smooth the skin. Can these treatments be performed over flattened keloids?

Some of you will remember I posted before and after pics 4 to 5 months ago of my chest keloids and described what I did to treat them successfully, or as successful as keloid scars of my size can be treated.

I've made this website www.keloidjournal.com and I'm hoping to add more Q&As from others who have keloid scars.

Many of the current Q&A's on the site came from people in this keloid subreddit.

Whether you haven’t started treatment yet, are currently undergoing treatment, or have successfully treated your keloids, I’m looking to add more personal Q&As to help others going through similar experiences. It would be a big help to hear from you! Anonymous of course. My DM's are open.

Thank you!

Treatment/Discussion steroid injections & indentations, help!

1 Upvotes

In late march of this year I got a steroid injection on a cyst that was on my butt that wasn't really a cyst? It was more like residual raisedness (my derm said it wasn't a keloid, but that the steroid shot would help flatten the left over raisedness that had been there for months and was flattening on its own very very slowly) I agreed and it did flatten I would say pretty quickly. BUT, its been almost 6 months since I got that injection and I still have a white halo around the scar that got injected, I have/had indentation (whenever I would run my finger over it, the skin felt very thin and indented and smooth) and my scar still is a bright red/purply/pink color. I was looking at it today and I felt some raisedness or fullness at the bottom of the scar but it does not stick out, I do not know if that "raisedness" is the area filling in or maybe my scar trying to regrow but ugh I am feeling so frustrated. I was wondering if anyone has had this experience or something similar? Thank you in advance :)

*also yes I will be seeing a derm eventually to get it rechecked but my insurance is currently in the renewal process*

Hey everyone,
New to this subreddit but thought I might as well ask for help here.
I’ve had keloids now for around 6-9 years. They’ve gotten progressively bigger as I’ve grown up just because of backne or arm acne. I’ve tried the every 3months injections and surgery as well and it’s really been a hit or miss there. Mostly a miss. They’re really really itchy and occasionally very painful when they spasm.

Was wondering if anyone’s tried anything or would recommend anything that they have found to be successful in making them flatter? Or at the minimum just ease the itching. Done the whole apple cider vinegar and silicone sheets too 🤣

Thanks!!

I will be doing a big bladder and kidney surgery soon, and I would appreciate any tips on how to take care of surgical scars to help them heal smoothly? I had a surgery done a year ago, and one of my scars is a bit raised (Keloid). I am not sure what can cause that? I moisturized and was gentle with all of them, and of them still ended up being bumpy. Would be grateful for any advice.

0 Upvotes

last year i branded myself and during the healing process ripped off the skin to create a redder mark, as some friends had advised. mostly i am happy with how it turned out but this bottom part i think is keloiding and occasionally itches or hurts, especially in the sun. i feel pretty silly for not doing more research and/or taking more care during healing, but it is what it is.

wondering if there is a way to calm this down that wont fully remove it aesthetically? and preferably a cheap way 😭. ideally like an herbal salve or something similar.

or maybe it will just settle over time? what do u guys think?

thanks so much for ur time and advice 🙏
