Solution for my Keloid

by jkata, Oct 27, 2008 07:36AM
I have a Keloid on my chest that started growing after a bout of chicken pox when I was about 10yrs old. 20 yrs later it is now as big as my little finger. It is very itchy and still growing. I have looked at a few suggestions, the idea of injections scares me. I came across Loditin. Has anyone tried it and will it work?

I had keloid before. I had steroid injections, did not help, I had surgery to have it cut out, did not help completely. Then a second surgeon said that I should try SPR Silicone Gel sheet for 6 months. If that wouldn't help me, nothing would help me.  I wore that gel for 6 months, and I felt some improvement, but not very satisfied. I'd tried all things that might help, and since this might be the only way left for me to get rid of this keloid, I kept wearing it for two years, and gradually the keloid went away. This gel did not need any prescription, but quite expensive.  I cut it into smaller pieces and stick it to the keloid. It cannot last as long as three months as the pharmacist will tell you, and you may lose it now and then.
