I have a keloid bubble on my left earlobe. (It's really small, about 0.23inch) It's been about 8months. I had steroid injections about 4-5times in June and July but it grew back to that size after a while. I'd like to surgically remove it. How much is it approximately to get a surgery?

Answer: Cost of removal of keloid of ear
The cost of the removal of a keloid is dependent on several factors including the individual physician and the location. The size of yours could easily be addressed by surgical removal and steroid injection in an office setting using just local anesthesia.
Your best bet would be to contact a few board certified plastic surgeons in your area, preferentially those who have an interest in and do treat keloids, and obtain estimates from them. Of course, price alone should not be the only determining factor for who you select to perform your surgery.
