Persons who tend to develop keloids should avoid cosmetic procedures to their skin. If surgery is necessary, an injection of cortisone can be made into the skin first. This may lower the risk of developing a keloid.\n\nUnless it is extreme, astigmatism can be compensated for satisfactorily with eyeglasses or contact lenses.

The tattoo artist that did my piercing told me to crush up an aspirin and mix it with tea tree oil and make a paste, then apply the paste to the keloid every night for a week.  It stinks BIG TIME, but it seemed to do the trick.

You need to see a dermatologist. Basically, they will inject your keloid with steroids over a period of time (sometimes weekly for several months). The keloid will shrink over time. If the keloids are really big, it can be cut off and then injectd. There are some new laser therapies as well. I've seen some great results. Try to find someone with experience.

If you roll you foreskin back and don't put it back where it belongs it will cut off you circulation and cause swelling in which it will be VERY hard to put it back. IT'S GONNA HURT!!

I am part African American and I had an C-Section scar and with black pigmented skin we tend to keloid (scar raises). Scarguard worked O.K. for me, the scar never went completly away. It made the scar flatter and lighter. So, I am a little more confidant. Also, look into "Mederma".

Sleep and lots of it. Our body needs to regenerate itself for the loss of energy. Studies shown that with proper rest, one can have healthier, glowing skin.\nAs for the second part of your question, it could be stress related. Learn to manage it by organizing your time & managing it better, allow yourself space to breathe.\nSeek help from a dermatologist if condition worsens. Keep face clean and dry. Avoid contact with dirty fingernails. Drink plenty of water.\nWe face worry no matter what the age. It's a fact of life. There're no shortcuts about it but to face it head on. Weigh your problems equally & learn to prioritise your "to-do list."\nHope this helped.

Below are only some of the side effects associated with steroid use. Some steroids lead to more side effects than others. In most cases, the more effective the steorid, the more negative effects the user will see.\n\nWater Retention:\n\nThis is most common from using steroids. It is a “puffiness” or swelling in the neck and facial areas. It is rather notable mainly if you know the person is on steroids. For example, I know someone that took steroids but I did not know it at the time. After I found out, if I looked his face I would wonder how I couldn’t notice he was on roids before. It can be mild swelling or very serious, obvious swelling. \n\nAcne: \n\nEveryone knows about acne, and is one of the side effects I worry about the most for me. It is also a very common side effect, it can give acne to someone who has never had acne, and it can make acne worse for others. It can also appear in new places for a person, such as, the back and neck. There have been several users that have not received acne on the other hand. \n\nGynecomastia: \n\nIt may not sound familiar but most people have heard about it. It is the formation of breasts, or abnormally large glands. The first signs are lumps under the nipples, then will gradually grow to fatty tissue and increase in size. \n\nAggression: \n\nAggression, also know as “roid rages”. Surprisingly, several athletes feel this is a positive effect. They often find they lift more, and are more intense during workouts. On the negative side, users find themselves fighting with family, friends, and co-workers with an uptight behaviour. \n\nHypertension: \n\nHigh blood pressure is also a chance when taking steroids. Most athletes would not know if they had high blood pressure so it is suggested to get tests regularly. High blood pressure can lead to many more serious diseases. \n\nCardiovascular Disease: \n\nStudies have shown that steroid use is a risk factor for heart disease. This is because steroids affect the cholesterol levels. Over a period of time the cholesterol builds up and clogs the arteries. \n\nPalpitations: \n\nHeart palpitations have been reported by a number of athletes on steroids. These may indicate an excited or elevated level of the central nervous system. \n\nImpotence: \n\nImpotence occurs when a user goes on and off steroids. When steroids are first used sexual interest increases because of the heightened frequency and duration of the erections. But eventually the opposite happens and no erections can be produced. \n\nJaundice: \n\nA serious liver disease which is found by an enlarged painful liver, yellowing of the eyes and skin, and flu like symptoms. This happens when athletes use high dosages of steroids.
