Keloids on Ears

See More: General

Question: I have keloids on my ears from piercing and I'm going to the doctor to get steroid shots and they don't seem to be helping. Is there another way of getting rid of them?

Answer:
Surgical removal of the keloids followed by injection of a steroid into the tissues and wound closure, followed with x-ray therapy over the next three days has been very effective.
