Im 18 years old i have extremely embarassing keloids for 3 years after getting my ears peirced.They way they are hidden beacuse I have long Dread locks. I have been getting steroid shots but they dont work. They Dr. said he could cut them off but it would be $500 per ear which is expensive and painful. Is there a cheaper method to remove them? If so please help, thnx
