Keloid from Ear Piercing - Removal Options?

Drea15
Hi. I'm a 15 year old. I got my keloid on my ear as a result of a bad piercing. I went to my doctor and she said she won't treat it with a steroid injection. I then went to a plastic surgeon and they said they'll remove it but my insurance denied it because I should get another treatment before that. What do you recommend I get done?
