Ear Keloid Removal

I recently saw an ENT surgeon about the half inch keloid on my right ear that I've had for 6 years, who immediately after 20 seconds of looking at it said OK we'll schedule to have it surgically removed and that'll be $950.00.

I've been researching this online and I've not found one positive outcome of having it removed, so should i just leave it alone and save my $1000? It doesn't hurt and hasn't changed in size in 2 years. My fear is that I'll spend the money just to have this disgusting thing come back even larger.

A: Keloid Removal

Keloids on the earlobes can be effectively removed, but they can also recur.  You mentioned you have had it for 6 years.  Based on what you describe, to optimize your results it should be surgically removed followed by steroid injections.  However, you can also leave it alone if it does not bother you cosmetically or otherwise.

To optimize the results of the scar, it would be best if you have it surgically removed followed by an injected medication to minimize its recurrrence.

Pediatric Dermatologist Vs Pediatric Plastic Surgeon and Scar Treatment

My 2 year old daughter fell and hit her forehead 7 weeks ago on a sharp edge of our bed. The cut ran from above her nose just into her eyebrow line. We are looking for advice regarding scar treatment such as pulse dye laser treatment or other options to minimize the scar. I'm interested in determining if it would be best to visit a pediatric dermatologist or a pediatric plastic surgeon for this advice. I am also looking for a doctor recommendations in the north Houston area.See attachment. THX

A: Wait

You should allow at least 12 months of healing to see what kind of scar you will be left with (waiting longer would be even better).  While waiting some form of scar cream for one or two months would help.  I would not do any laser treatment as I don't think it helps.  The worse situation is if you don't like the scar at any age, then you can get a scar revision and this should only be done by a plastic surgeon and a good one in Houston is Dr.  John Teichgraber.
