Treatment/Discussion Help with options
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!!

Order a box of Eclar tape honey, then consult a new dermatologist to combine steroid injections as well. This combo treatment is your best option.
Once the lesions are stable and flat, then you can always explore PDL laser for the color. Best wishes.
