Mitech Plastic Surgery Clinic in Busanjin-gu, experience with keloid injection treatment after piercing

A small bump started to appear where I had a piercing on my ear. As time passed, it felt like it was getting bigger and harder, so I visited a dermatologist. At first, I thought it was just a healed wound, but it was constantly uncomfortable to the touch, and the shape bothered me, so I wanted to get an accurate diagnosis. The doctor examined my ear closely first and asked me in detail when it appeared, how fast it was growing, and whether I was experiencing any pain. They explained that the diagnosis indicated it appeared to be a keloid and that it requires different care than a regular scar. I was informed that the treatment could proceed by reducing its size through injection therapy. They explained the procedure and potential pain levels beforehand, which helped ease my anxiety; in reality, it only stung briefly, so it was better than I expected. Since I was told it wouldn't disappear completely in one session and would require treatment over several sessions, I realized the importance of consistent care. After the procedure, I felt a slight swelling, but it didn't significantly interfere with my daily life, and I could feel the hardened area gradually softening over time. I felt fortunate to have visited early, as neglecting it could cause it to grow larger. It made me realize that if you experience similar symptoms, it is best to get checked out promptly.
