IIt's June 26 2014 12:24 am. I've lived with large keliods since I was in elementary school. My mother hated it and took me to doctor after doctor. Injections and biopsies were so painful and the keliods just kept growing. Its wasn't until I was 17 that I learned what they really were. I've been using tea tree oil and its been helpful with my smaller keliods but my two larger ones nothing has worked. For years I have studied the "rubber band method" and every other method out there. I've finally got the nerve up and did it. I put bands on my two large keliods. It hurt a bit and as I type this the throbbing is not fun but I have had pain in them forever so its nothing new and I am so ready to have them gone. I will be taking photos every day and will try to be good about putting them and an update on here. Maybe it will help someone who is struggling with this like I have been for years. A few days ago the big one started bleeding from the top. No doctors around me want to do anything other than injections. Maybe that pushed me.
