  Honestly you just have to have a high tolerance for pain. It hurt like hell but it was worth it. You just have to honestly talk yourself out of taking it off when the pain becomes unbearable.

  @ jojo glad to know that things worked out for you as well and the keloid has not returned. It has been about 2 weeks since I removed mines and it's healing but I would not even attempt to put another earring back in to avoid the keloid returning. Plus my piercing was located on my upper earlobe. I have been applying a combination of tea tree, olive, castor, and vitamin e oil to aid with healing and any scarring. Hope this also helps others!

  Oh by the way stack up on pain killers!! It helped but the pain was still almost unbearable. U definitely don't want to stop once u start. The first few days plan to be in environment where u can relax like home, etc. The pain can be so bad that's it's hard to focus. Overall, it's worthhhhhhhh itttttttttt! No pain no gain! Congrats on the wedding plans! ;)

  While the site is real and information is provided by ordinary peopl just like you and me. I really can't give you any advice in your situation but I'm glad to report that the string or rubberband method does work! ;) I'm still in the early stages after my keloid removal. Therefore. I can't say whether it has or had not returned yet... And in regards to ur acne look into the oil cleansing method usinga mixture of castor oil in addition to another essential oil like olive oil, sunflower oil, etc...

  Initially I used a hair tie...goody's luckless hair tie to be exact. I figured the texture would help to ease the pain compared to a rubberband which may irritate your skin more and make your skin feel raw from cutting into it too much. I switch from a rubberband after two days and decide to use Yarn instead of of a string or thread to also protect my skin from being rubbed raw. So, overall the entire process was completed in 9 days...as mentioned before the keloid was black on the 4th day and became hard around the 6th day. During the process I would take off the string ever 2 or 3 days and clean with antibacterial soap, peroxide and then apply equates (same as neosporin) antibacterial cream to my ear. Also, I had a blend of castor oil/olive oil that I use for other things and decided to also apply this during the process to help with healing the skin and avoiding any infections while and after the keloid was removed. Castor oil has natural antibacterial properties and is good for the skin. So, now both of my keloids are completely removed and the area where the keloid was removed is already healing. I'm African-American so my skin right now appears pink but the color should eventually return to normal just like a scab would. Also. To assist with the keloid falling off one i could tell it as dead i would slightly twist it to help with the removal of it. Do not twist to hard to avoid any more trauma to the ear. So, overall I am happy and hopefully it confines to heal properly and the keloids do t seek vengeance!! ;)
