Question about Keloid bump?

Hi, I have tried getting rid of it with rubbing alcohol, and salt water but it isnt working. I looked on a website and one method was putting water on asprin and putting it to your bump to make it diminish.





Will iburprobin or tylonol work as well (it is like asprin) or are they made of entirely different stuff?





I only have iburprobin and tylonol, no asprin

Question about Keloid bump?
The tattoo artist that did my piercing told me to crush up an aspirin and mix it with tea tree oil and make a paste, then apply the paste to the keloid every night for a week. It stinks BIG TIME, but it seemed to do the trick.
Reply:No, aspirin and Tylenol are two completely different drugs. Use Aspirin. Report It

Reply:A keloid is formed when the skin overscars after an injury of some sort. There are some preparations at the pharmacy that will help with scar reduction, but if you form keloids there isn't a lot that can be done with them. They don't respond to the sort of thing you are doing other than to become irritated. Irritated skin simply reacts by getting thicker, and that's the last thing you want the keloid skin to do. If it is a spot that really bugs you for whatever reason, about the only recourse you have is a visit to a plastic surgeon. In some cases they can do a scar reduction or resection. But if you tend to form keloids, anytime you are cut, you stand the chance to form one. A plastic surgeon can't control that, the best they can do is make it look a bit nicer, or change the position sometimes. Sorry, but that is the truth.
Reply:A keloid is a scar-bump from fibrous tissue resulting from an injury.The only way to deal with those is steroid shots or removal bt a doctor.Check with your doctor and find out what it is that you have.Don't try to remove it yourself,always see a doctor and get a second opinion.I hope this helps.
