Asked By:Avery921 in Myrtle Beach, SC

I have 2 huge keloids on both sides of my ears located on the cartilage they have grown so much to the point thy have started to deform my ear and are causing a lot of pain! I tried to get it removed through surgery and my insurance denied so I resulted to trying to do it myself only for it not to work because of where my ear has became part of the keloid.
