How to remove keloid scar?

I have developed one a few years ago on my shoulder. Some people suggested laser surgery and steroid injection. Do anyone knows how to get rid of it cheaply and effectively without seeing doctor?

How to remove keloid scar?
I don't think you can get rid of it entirely without surgery. Mine was cut off, kept open, and I had to apply silicon to it for 6 weeks. I did this twice and still have some keloiding left, but not as bad as it was originally. Some vitamin E creams claim to lessen scarring, but it probably won't get rid of it entirely.
Reply:Scarsil ....Pure silicone sheeting for occlusive scar treatment and removal of hypertrophic and keloid scars.
Reply:No, unfortunately, there is no way to do this on your own. I went to my dermatologist, who shoots cortisone directly into the scar. Unfortunately, they only diminish, but don't go away entirely. They can be very pervasive.
Reply:I would not use "cheap" as my criteria for a method of removing a scar. Try the over the counter ointments and see if they help. But you really should see a dermatologist specializing in scar removal.
