    It is my understand that only surgery is the 100% solution - and, of course, surgery can lead to additional scarring/keloids.

    How do I get rid of a keloid that I have on my right ear from getting it pierced. Its grown since and I'm wondering how to get it off. Or make it go away. I'm thinking about surgery. Please help me.

    This has been answered - surgery is the only option. Depending on how you heal, surgery can lead to more scarring.

    Depending on how big the keloid is...

    My keloid got smaller when I soaked it in a sea salt solution twice a day.

    Other people use pure tea tree oil, which I heard helps!

    Good luck! I have a keloid too :(
