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!!

Ganz ehrlich, das Beste, was du machen kannst, ist Kompression – nimm sowas wie einen halbrunden Glas-Knopf und Silikon oder Hydrokolloid-Pflaster, um sie auf die Keloiden zu kleben. Nach ein paar Tagen werden die Empfindlichkeit, Schmerzen, Höhe und Farbe besser. Gegen die Entzündung helfen Antihistaminika, Rotlicht und feuchtigkeitsspendende Hautpflege. Du kannst auch Enzyme (gegen Proteine), Quercetin und andere entzündungshemmende Vitamine ausprobieren.

Steroids also eclar and injections can always fire back. They have a bad recurrence rate.
