▲ 14 r/Keloids

Hi all. I thought I'd share my keloid progression so far... it's nothing crazy. But it helps me to see that something IS happening, when I think it isn't because progress is so slow.

Basically The bottom image is what my keloids looked like prior to getting injections, monthly for about a year. I stopped once I felt it was flat enough and stopped itching. I have one on my arm, and basically 1 on my chest (there used to be a small one next to it, that surprisingly took only 1 injection to fix... that one might be more like a hypertrophic scar though?).

After 3 years, some areas started to raise up again, so I looked into trying Eclar plaster. It's been about 8 months since I've used it, and I'm pretty happy with the results, though it seems slow. I've been pretty inconsistent with it... some days I change it daily, sometimes I give my skin a break for a days or even weeks.

I've honestly forgotten how it looked before, until I made this. So, I am pretty happy with the change... even if it doesn't change much from here.
