I have a large red keloid on the back of my left earlobe. I have had my piercing for around 4 years now and have had it swell recently around a year ago. At first it was very small but now it has grown considerably bigger. I recently got some Iodine Povidine from a brother's friend and have applied it a few times to the large keloid. I was wondering will this help at all or would there be a faster natural method since I would rather not have it surgically removed at this point.

This is the cure.. Try it, you won't regret it! It is amazing to me that doctors and dermatologists keep this simplest of remedies for keloid scars away from their patient. Iodine is so cheap and readily available.. No one should have to endure the shame and physical anguish that it is having keloid scars!!

May all keloids melt to hell!!!!!!! :-)

My son is 13. 7 months now since dog bite to face and scar is raised. We've been doing scar massage and a pressure treatment but only half good. Some red areas and he's now become more self conscious especially since April 11th when masks were optional at school. I literally just bought the clear iodine at a health food vitamin shop.

For anyone who might know the answer since this post is from 2012: How much do you apply and how often and any other details you may want to share. Thank you.
