How can I get rid of my horrible keloid c-section scar and a keloid on my hand? (Photo)

February 2, 2016
Asked By:kroe90 in Houston, TX

I have had 3 c-sections since 2008. Of course this keloid is much longer than my first due to all the tissue removed. It's a reddish purple and still numb to feeling of touch. It goes all the way across the top of my pelvis. I have grown to be very self concious of it. I also have one on my right hand at the start of my pinkie. I had filed it while washing dishes and a glass shattered as I rotated it with my hand inside. Please please please help!!!
