Hi, My name is Cindy. Im 17 years old and i have a keloid scar on my left shoulder since i was a baby. I went to alot of skin doctors and hospitals to see if there is any way or any treatment to get rid of this keloid. All of them said that there is no way to make it go away, because if they preform a surgery another keloid scar might grow again. My scar has been hurting since i was a kid, and now it hurts much more often or out of the blue. Espiecally when i get a pat on the shoulder and people don't know i have this, it hurts sooo much 
I tried creams that the doctors gave me to make the pain go away, but it never works. It looks very red and swollen now and even just a touch is painful. Please is there any way to get rid of this, so i won't be in much pain anymore.
Hi Cindy,
I too suffer from kelold scars. I Have on the mid-section of my chest and on my left breast. I have had these keloids since I was you age and now I am 48. They are very painful and its amazes me that doctors can make women beautiful with surgery yet they can't figure out how to help patients who just want to have a normal life without keloids.
I wish I could tell you there was a solution but I have yet to find one. I will make a suggestion to not get the injection because they just made my koloid larger. Also small needles will still cause a scar. Keep in touch if you get ahold of a doctor who cares refer him/her my way.

Keloid looks shiny and range in color from pink to red. It has the tendency to migrate into surrounding areas. Multiple treatments may be required depending on the nature of keloid. I got keloids on my ears. I removed it five times through various treatments. I did it in Fairview laser clinic at Toronto. Cortisone injections are given to treat keloids. So you consult a surgeon in the first place and ask for advice.
Hi. I have my own keloid and it's on my chest so whenever I wear v neck shirts or anything that shows it it makes me feel conscious and I don't feel confident in myself but I've been looking through a few websites and I've seen people say that the cryosurgery is not painful at all to do. All they really do is use an extremely cold thing and they apply it making it shrink and less noticeable. Hope this helps!
I had open heart surgery 4.5 yrs ago and the keliod scar right diwn the centre of my chest is still painful also itches. I went to the Docs yesterday about the stabbing shooting pains i get all around my chest , he says they are the nerves from the scar? any advise out there?

U can also apply castor oil.warm up n apply it.i also drink acv mixed in juice.i apply apple cider vinegar too.my keloid has reduced to size.hurts less now
i too have a Keloid on my left shoulder. i was in tears yesterday due to pain! Mepiform seems to work but my GP wouldnt do them so tried ScarAway but obviously that didnt work! Today the idiot Keloid has died down. The ancient question why would a keloid try to grow towards a shoulder bone when there is no way of going anywhere except to cause me unbelievable pain??
i am BlackAmerican but grew up in UK&Germany.My Keloid started with a jab/shot when i was about 12. Drs from EU to USA have tried & tested now my Keloid is about 6" long in shape of last stitches i had plus about 2" wide. Cindy, dont bother with removal plus i found injections too bloody painful.
i am trying out sheeting.....
thank u - Kimla
Hi, I've had keloid scars as long as I could remember, and I have one on my right shoulder. I also had a huge keloid scar on my knee from when i fell down as a child. I remember being reccomended this silicone gel called Dermatix and used it everyday, and it has flattened my keloid scar on my knee. I didn't really care much about the one on my shoulder until it recently started hurting quite a bit. I've repurchased dermatix and have been using it for the past 3 weeks, and the keloid scar on my shoulder has significantly reduced. it's not flat yet, but it still works for me, so maybe try it out? It's a bit on the pricey side but I promise you it's worth it. Just apply it religiously everyday and you should notice a difference at least after 3 weeks of using it! Good luck and keep me updated 
Hello! I have keliods covering everything on my body except my head, hands,and feet. They are also very painful and itchy. I was informed to use pure paw honey. It will help remove them. Haven't tried it yet but I'm going to. Just passing along the information I received.
Try application of Apple Cider Vinegar, I have had positive results with pain reduction. Apply ACV to a cotton ball and place on keloid, leave for 5 min - 1 hour or overnight if you like. The idea is that the acid in the vinegar breaks down the keloid resulting in lighter, flatter and less painful scars (be consistant, it takes up to a month to see results).
Hi Cindy,
You can try using CICA CARE silicon gel sheet. My husband got this treatment after surgery for his keloid. It's soft, easy to use and comfortable. It could reduce itchy, flatten, soften and turn the red color into skin color. Just browse it before you decide. Cica-care self adhesive silicone gel sheet.

That sounds like a 'light at the end of a tunnel'!! i will try and thank you so much.
I had a really stubborn keloid on my chest which was very painful, itching and growing. Did so many different treatments over 3-4 years with no luck, it kept growing and the pain increased every passing day. I researched online for treatments and was in similar discussions but none of what was recommended worked. Finally I went and got rid of it through a surgeon (through a recommendation I got from another doctor) who gave me KENACORT INJECTION. I had to only go for a couple of sessions and it was gone. Believe me i have taken many other medicines and injections prior to that but this is the thing which worked on me. The reason I am writing this is because I know how painful and worrying keliods can be. Hope this would help.

hello i have been using the Apple Cider Vinegar which has been great until about 5 days ago. Been using a cotton bud to dab it on Keloid which is on my upper left arm.for last 5 days been in pain so i have a bandage around keloid with a quarter-size coin depressing this newish keloid on upper shoulder is about a dime-size and is really fighting me on this one. the whole keloid is 2x6". Any ideas? i do have an ice pack so could do that until this idiot dies down and stops fighting me! the depression seems to be working though
silly me tried to poison myself! dont use a coin to depress Keloid that was just about to turn green! of course no pain now.
Apple cider along with depression works on a Keloid that is on upper shoulder. [biggrin]
Hi, I used to have keloids on my ears. I had them cut off, frozen, cut off again. They always grew back bigger. Then I had shots of cortisone in each earlobe (just next to the keloid) every 2 weeks for 2 years. They gradually decreased until they were pretty much gone. The little scars I have left do still itch a little but I don't live with the embarrassment anymore. I hope this helps you
