keloids
ok so i have these bumps in my ears which i know are keloids. i used to have them when i was younger, and my mom took me to the dermatologist and i got shots in my ears and eventually they went away. but now, i have my second hole pierced and they have formed in that one on both sides. i really don't wanna have to go back and get shots in them. i've been looking online and have seen home remedies that cure them such as hot compresses, tea tree oil?, olive oil and stuff but i was just wondering if they were safe, how often you have to do so, which one is the best (or if you have any other suggestions), how exactly you put it on, and if you have to keep the earring in while you apply it? so if anyone has experienced a keloid, i'd really appreciate if you could help. thanks!

The home remedies you've described are 100% safe.
If I were you, about 3 times a day, for 15 minutes at a time, I would apply the hot compresses.
Go to your local pharmacy etc and purchase some tea tree oil if you don't have any already. It has helped with alot of my piercings.
If you see any skin irritation, water it down.
Also, you don't have to remove the earring.
I haven't experienced a keloid as such, but I've had a weaker stage, where a bump has formed.
Just so you know, the results won't work straight away. It can take weeks.
But if you don't see any improvement after say, 2 weeks, it could be worth taking another trip to the dermatologist to see if there's anything else besides the shots.
Good luck.
