I recently saw an ENT surgeon about the half inch keloid on my right ear that I've had for 6 years, who immediately after 20 seconds of looking at it said OK we'll schedule to have it surgically removed and that'll be $950.00. I've been researching this online and I've not found one positive outcome of having it removed, so should i just leave it alone and save my $1000? It doesn't hurt and hasn't changed in size in 2 years. My fear is that I'll spend the money just to have this disgusting thing come back even larger.
