i used to think i was the only one on earth with keloid
i didn’t even know what it was called until recently
i developed mine on my left ear from a football injury when i was 10
fortunately for me it’s shrinking, although really slowly, on it’s own. and it’s already a part of me
i can’t imagine going to the hospital back and forth, spending a lot of money cause of it.
crazy.
Keloids are among the most difficult and expensive scars to treat.
I remember piercing my ear in 100 level, and it started developing a keloid. It kept growing until it became so big that I had to have it cut off. Unfortunately, it came back a few months later.
I had it removed for the second time, but it still came back. At that point, I visited a local medicine shop, where a woman tied a black thread around it and told me it would eventually fall off on its own. 🥲
Those months were absolute hell because she kept tightening the thread until it eventually fell off one day. But guess what? The keloid came back again after some months!
It wasn’t until our family doctor got some of his colleagues involved that I finally got proper treatment. They started treating it with injections.
Each injection cost ₦15,000, and I had to take three injections every week for seven months before the keloid finally shrunk to the small size it is today.
My experience taught me that treating keloids is no joke. The pain, time, money and emotional stress involved are something I wouldn’t wish on anyone. 😭
I pray you get the help you deserve 🙏🏽
