Well, if you have a bunch of little scars in the same area you could have them all cut out leaving one big scar.  That would get rid of the large quantity of scars anyway.

sterilize a needle with rubbing alcohol pop it if you can stand it pull back just a little of the skin and put some neosporin anti scar on it.. the anti scar works faster at repairing skin tissue and doesn't burn like liquid bandage

You may not have a keloid. \nMost people think that they have a keloid, but its really a blister, or just scar tissue.\n\n\nWhat you should do, is start doing sea salt soaks.\n1.Wash your hands with an anti-Bacterial or antimicrobial liquid Soap/Wash.\n2.Use a disposable cup to mix your sea salt solution. Or clean your cup very well with the anti-bacterial soap.\n3.Mix 1/4 teaspoon of sea salt to 8 oz of warm water. (Distilled water if possible)\n4.Fully saturate a clean paper towel in the solution and hold the paper towel on your piercing for 10 minuites a day once daily for a week. Only do this to the outside of your piercing.Dont use cotton balls or q-tips. Small cotton fibres can get wraped around the jewlery and get inside the piercing, causeing irritation.\n\nThis should help drain the bump, and it should go down. If it dosent go away in a week, increase your sea salt soaks to twice daily and increase your amount of sea salt to 1/2 a teaspoon to 8 oz. Its very important that you measure.\n\nOther tips...\nDont use washcloths, sponges or loofas.\nDont rotate twist or turn the piercing. It forces crust back in the hole.\nBe careful not to get it snagges on things.\nDont put makeup on it.\nDont use exfoliating creams near the piercing.\nIf your unsure about where you got pierced, you could be \nIf your worried..Its always best to see a doctor, to rule out problems.\nDont use peroxide\nDont use alcohol..alcohol is not supposed to go inside puncture wounds, a piercing is a puncture wound..it can be toxic to your liver and cause abnormal scar formation.The last thing you want is a bad scar on your nose. \n\nIf this dosent work, or you are sure that you have a keloid, you have to get it removed by a doctor.

laser and removal are your only options. laser isnt always 100 percent effective. removla is basically just that...the tattooed part or your flesh is actually cut off of your body and your flesh is grafted back together to cover the area. ouch = ) coverups are most effective....no matter how bad a tattoo turned out or how much you may dislike it now- a good artist can do something to it to where its more appealing

The marks will not totally disappear, but they diminish a LOT!!\n\nhttp://shopping.yahoo.com/search;_ylt=AsGv6u9X4ggDdKkZKwipomMEgFoB;_ylu=X3oDMTBhNjRqazhxBHNlYwNzZWFyY2g-?p=scar+gel&did=\n\n\nvitamin e, cocoa butter, etc. do NOT work.

Mederma worked great on my face scar.  Plus, my doctor said to rub the scar while it's still pink (relativley new), I rub my scars w/Mederma or Vitamin E cream.  The rubbing makes them flatten out when they turn white.  So they are not one of those pooched up scars (it you tend to get that kind).

Sorry, old wives' tale, the only way to get rid of the scar would be plastic surgery.  For the meantime, try makeup LOL:)

A keloid scar will never disappear completely.  The wound was to deep into the skin.  It has damaged the lower layer of skin that produces the new skin cells.  There are ways to make the scar smaller, lighter in color and not as noticeable though.  Vitamin E taken orally with help the skin elasticity, vitamin E oil rubbed onto the keloid scar will help diminish the red or dark color of the scar.  Coco butter lotion has been known to do the same thing.  Also if you massage the scar with your fingers this helps brake up the hard outer and inner skin layers.  Making the scar loser, less tight, this makes the scar not as thick so it doesn't stand up as much.  Meaning it is flatter not as puffy looking.

Try Mederma, you can buy it at the drugstore.  It's pricey, but works great on scars.

I'm currently trying to stop cutting and getting really worried about all the scars, so I'm using vitamin E on them. I buy the capsules from the pharmacy and cut them open and rub the oil directly into the scars. It does seem to be helping, although it's a slow process, but I'm sure all methods are. I do that once a day, and I use a moisturiser containing vitamin E once a day as well. You can also buy oils and serums specifically designed to reduce scars, such as Bio Oil, but they're really expensive and I'm not sure they work any better than vitamin E. If you have raised scars, the scar reduction patches you can buy are supposed to be very effective, although I haven't tried them yet myself. Hope this has been of some help and good luck, I hope your scars do fade, I have some that I know will be permanent unfortunately.

I had an infected navel piercing. You need to take the piercing out. And if you can wash the infected area with dial anti-bacterial soap. Do not  use peroxide...this can cause Keloids(raised scar tissue) to develop. If you can put something like neosporin on it and leave it uncovered for a few days. It should heal up in a few days.

What is your race...that is a good thing to know.  Those from the Mediterranean countries and those from the black race seem to get these more often.  Keloids are an aggressive form of scar formation when the body gets 'injured' (pierced, in your case).  Removing them causes more scar tissue, thus bigger keloids.  You may go from a pea sized to a cabbage sized.  (Not likely, but you get the picture).\nRemover them yourself?  I hope that you do not entertain that thought becuase of the trouble that you may get yourself into...I am sorry to say, but you need a plastics guy to get you the most cosmetic appealing removal, and they will tell you that there is no guarantee.\nNo more piercings for you.  You will only propigate more keloids.

I've had a couple of moles removed for testing because of a family history of skin cancer.  None of them were lasered. They were cut completely out down to the root--the doctor made a kind of cone-shaped incision and then put in lots of tiny invisible stitches. (Local anesthesia.)  The scar is red for a few months and then fades to almost nothing--you can see the scar in just the right light and angle but other than that I don't even need make-up to cover it.\nI had another one that had to be cauterized but it wasn't on my face--that made an ugly scar and 15 years later it's still white and puckered and shiny although not as prominent.\nDefinitely ask your surgeon about different options for removing the mole and what kinds of scars they will leave. It depends on your skin type too--my skin tends to scar easily and make those lumpy "keloid" scars so I have to be very careful about surgery and injury.

Aloe is only good when you apply it directly to the skin. Vit E also work well for fresh scar. For old scar (more than 3months old), try Centica 10g from a pharmacy. Much cheaper than other branded scar remover, about US$2 only per tube of 10g.

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.
