There is no permanent solution to keloid. Steroid injections at regular intervals will help you keep the symptoms in control. You can use Silicon gel sheet until you are able to visit the doctor. Lysil or sicacare silicon gel sheet , appropriate size for your keloid can be bought. It must be kept struck to the keloid throughout the whole day, except when you take bath. It should be left in place even during sleep. The same sheet can be peeled and reused for a period of one month. Also massage the keloid with any oil , with a lot of pressure, two times a day, for 5 minutes duration by the clock. These measures should give you temporary relief.

Kindly send relevant photographs for proper diagnosis and treatment. Treatment depends on the size and duration of keloid. It can be fully cured, don't worry.
