I hope this helps someone out there. I had a piercing on my ear and it got infected which lead to the formation of a keloid. I really scared the shit outta me. I tried tea tree oil and it really worked well, the bump got smaller but it still remained. Right now I’m trying a combination of pressure therapy ( just buy a nice pair of clip-on earrings it will work just fine) and apply some scar gel daily. For those of you who like me are not great fans of the clip-on earrings just use a little cotton wool at the front and back to cushion the skin. It hurts alot in the beginning so try it with a little parcetamol or panadol but then you get used to it. The scar gel seems to make the scar a little softer but not smaller so far, but to be fair they say you must use it continuousely for at least 3-6 months before you see any change. The compression of the ear has reduced the bump significantly though. It has formed a new layer of skin underneath so i’m keeping my fingers crossed that all goes well. I hope this helps someone out there since I too scoured the webs for help when it first occured and found this useful information. Kudos to you all!
