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

Hello tobehealthy,

Homeopathic treatment is possible for a Keloid. Best would be to see an experienced classical homeopath ! Unfortunately constitutional prescribing doesn`t always work in these cases.

I`ll explain why you should see a qualified homeopath !

Often Silicea is prescribed first in 200c or 200k potency, each week one dose for 5-6 months approx.

When Silicea fails Fluoricum acidum is prescribed in 30c or 30k, 3 times daily one dose.

But sometimes an intercurrent remedy e.g. Tuberculinum (called a nosode) has to be given when there is little or no improvement achieved by the other previously given remedies and this should be done by a professional !

When the body has chosen a manner in which to "vent" its problems, then closing the vent by surgical/chemical means causes more damage.

Go all the way with Wim on this one.

Although I might go for silica 6x more frequently , but thats splitting hairs !.

chennai is a place of brilliant homoeopaths like kopikar and all.consult some of them. that will be better.wish ur son a permanent cure.
