Hi all,
My Name is Ravi. I am living near Chennai in Tamil Nadu (India). I am new to this site. When I was browsing for keloid treatment I came through this.
Now the case :
My son is 6 years old. He is having a keloid in his right ear lobe. It started after the earboring. Ear boring was done 5 years ago (2000 June).
Nothing abnormality was seen for next few months.
After that we noticed there was some growth on right ear lobe.
It was very small in size. I consulted doctors. They said it was an ear implantation dermoid and shall be removed by surgery after some minimum needed size. By August 2003 an operation was done and it was removed. It was around 10 mm diameter ball behind the ear.
After some time now also we noticed some growth at the same place.
Now it is very big in size and it is an odd shape. I consulted the doctor again. They say it is a keloid and there is no treatment for this other than steroid injection. Even if we do another surgery it will reccur they say.
Now I would like to have the advice/opinion of the forum.
Is there any alternative medicine available for this problem ?
Please help me by your valuable in formation.
Thank you.

Regards
Ravi. M
