Dear Scott: The tea tree and lavender won't work for old keloids. It works better if it is taped on with cotton using the mixture. For old keloids, the best formula that I can come up with is 20% salicylic acid with 10% aloe vera oil (for healing - if cannot find maybe olive oil). The oil will dissolve the salicylic acid and you add this with 70% base cream or any other creams, then it is to be applied to the area and cover up with appropriate gauze or cotton swap with tape. Deep keloids scars may take awhile.
