Just a post from my journey. I realized today how different my life is now that I don't have a keloid. 

Today I reflected back on my life and realized how much of an impact having a keloid had on it. I had low self-esteem & was teased by classmates at a very young age. As a kid, I blamed much of my awkward social situations on this one keloid. Yes, it was the cause, but really it was just the result of avoiding so many social situations that I did not know how to operate within them. This keloid was the result of scratching chicken pocks that I had when I was around 7. Yep, that thing that everyone tells you not to do, had a reason, and also a big impact on my life. 


After getting rid of it, using a combination of acid ( That's safe for skin). Aloe vera (to repair the damaged skin), chip clips (for pressure), and that shaving tool used to stop the bleeding when you cut yourself shaving. (to stop the bleeding).

The above method is for earlobe keloids.


I found this combination by scouring the internet for over a decade. As I have had many keloids in my life. One on my ear lobe, one on my forehead, and one on the side of my head, in front of my ear (the hardest one to reduce).

Doctors of course, always touted that a steroid injection is the best course of action, but honestly, that made one of my keloids worse. 

More later! Stay Tuned.
