How to flatten keloid on helix piercing at home?

Patient's Query

I have a keloid on my helix piercing and i would like recommendations on how to flatten it or treat it at home while still being able to keep the piercing in.

Answered by Dr. Archit Aggarwal

Keloids are bumpy scars that can appear after getting piercings. They may look like a bump and be itchy or painful. For at-home treatment, silicone gel sheets or pressure earrings can be applied to the area to help with flattening it. These keloids can be sure of your keloid's size. Remember to clean the piercing well to avoid infection. If it doesn't get better, you might have to visit a dermatologist

Male | 32

Back acne occurs when hair follicles become blocked with oil and dead skin cells, leading to bumps on the skin. This condition can be worsened by sweating or wearing tight clothes. The itchiness is often due to irritation caused by the acne. To manage back acne, try using a mild cleanser and avoid wearing tight clothing. Use oil-free lotions and refrain from scratching your skin, this can worsen the condition.

You Suggest Me that i can get cleanup on face because I am teenager

Male | 19

Most youngsters need a face cleanup. When you see that your pores are clogged, whether it is blackheads, or pimples, the cause of these things can be either dirt, bacteria, or skin oil production. Aside from that, do not forget to cleanse your face twice a day with a mild oil-free cleanser, to make your face glow and not raise the probability of skin infection, use a face moisturizer and do not keep touching your face.

My doctor prescribed me a sylicylic acid and glycolic acid facewash I have dry and pimple skin I have used this product and it clear my skin but after some time I again got pimples

Female | 27

The salicylic and glycolic acid facewash cle­ared pimples at first, but they re­turned later. These­ acids sometimes dry out the skin too much. This causes more­ oil production, leading to pimples again. Instead, use­ a gentle, moisturizing face wash. Be­ sure to moisturize properly. This ke­eps skin balanced, hydrated, and pre­vents more pimple proble­ms.

I seek a solution to these persistent problems.

Female | 25

I understand your concerns about facial skin issues. It's important to see a dermatologist for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan. They can offer targeted solutions for dark spots, open pores, pimples, wrinkles, fine lines, and marks. A dermatologist may recommend treatments like chemical peels, laser therapy, or prescription medications. They will also help you establish a skincare routine suited to your skin type.
