I have a half removed tatoo on my upper arm. I have stopped the process since I had got monsterous keliod scarring results. It looks terrible and itches like crazy. I've been to the dermotologist and he said that laser isnt going to work for me. Can anyone reccomend a remedy or CURE!!?? I was thinking about having a skin transplant but that is going to be super expensive.

Please give me any adice, I'd really apreciate it.

    I have a problem with keliods as well, i know there are some herbal cures that claim they work-maybe they do? i kelioded when i pierced my ears for the second and third time. my dermatologist injected some kind of steroids into them-this made the swelling go down, but the scar is still there you might also be able to try i think theyre silicone patches-something about them reduces the keliod-also pressure works, i dont know where you could get a kit like that-but putting pressure on the keiod, and over days of time adding more pressure is supposed to make the swelling go down....

    I *highly* recommend using grapefruit seed extract. I tend to keloid quite a bit (as I learned when I pierced my nose) and had horrific experiences with it. I put tea tree oil and GSE on my keloid twice a day and it worked wonders. You have to be really vigilant about but it's worth it!

    I used the tea tree at night because the gse irritated the inside of my nose (where I was applying some of it), but I think the gse was more powerful than the tea tree. Both worked well to break down the tissue and make it soft to help it reabsorb to my body, and both were recommended by very professional piercers (who see keloids all the time!).

    Good luck!

    Hi he was right about the laser because all it did was took off the top of my kelkoid that was on top of the skin.The keloid underneth my skin grew back to a big keloid.Before the laser surgery I was using a keloid cream( i forget the name) for a few months and it made a split across my keloid.The cream did had an effect on my big( long like my pinky and an inch wide) and old keloid.I wish that I had got the cream again after the keloid came back during that time( around 2003-2004).

    About a year ago I got surgery and injections on that keloid but it came back abit bigger.I have two flat ones on my leg and one of them is abit raised.They look like normal scars( because I had surgery on those scars the same time as the big one.I got radiotheraphy too.) but they itch.I have 2 very tiny mature keloids( One is on my ear.They aren't noticible.Mature keloid means that it stops growing and stops itching.I don't consider them keloids anymore.I wish I knew what causes keloids to mature.)
