Keloid scarring

2018-02-06 12:44:24
Hi there, I had my ears pierced a long time ago and got keloid scars. They were removed with a steroid injection and healed completely but I didn’t wear earrings and lost the hole. I’m desperate to get them pierced again and was wondering if I could get the injections again but keep the piercing? Thanks in advance

If keloid tendency is not very high u can get the ear piercing done by a dermatologist but after piercing silicon cream are available in the market!!you should continue using cream for very long.All the best and for  more queries feel free to ask.
