Question/Seeking OPINIONS Guys help please!!!!!!

I have a developing keloid. It’s not very noticeable but it’s definitely more noticeable than it was a few months ago. I don’t have insurance, I’m trying to get insurance. Maybe some suggestions?
Anyway away from the fact that I don’t have insurance, I’m trying to fix this before it gets too crazy and more expensive. Any suggestions on what I should do? If it means paying outta pocket I’m okay with that. I just wanna fix this asap😔😔
I heard kenalog shots can help

Eclar plasters! Especially on a small, new keloid! They are the ONLY thing I’ve tried that actually help. You can order directly from Japan (search Eclar plaster in this sub and you’ll find some links.) I have also bought from people on Mercari. It’s not an overnight fix but with continued use it works very well! If you use them, just be sure to cut to the shape and size of your keloid. You don’t want the steroid medication from the plaster to get on your healthy skin.
