is getting this removed worth it?
i have these two keloids on my earlobe and they’re unsightly and i am a bit insecure about them (i usually keep them covered with my hair), but the thing is that they don’t really hurt. yes they do get a liiiiil itchy if i keep them pressed against something hard (for example: i sleep on my left side and sometimes sleep with my hand below my ear and that sometimes makes them a bit red and itchy). so they’re less about discomfort and more about insecurity.
a close friend of mine works at a derm and offered to schedule me in for a consultation and possibly even same day removal, but the thought of getting them removed scares me bc i am a big wuss when it comes to pain (and i’ve seen a LOT about excision, injections, etc.) and the keloids themselves are ~ 2 years old and are on the more hard side + i do also have two very small raised bumps on the back of my lobe directly behind these keloids.
i’ve been debating removal bc i am insecure about them, but they don’t cause any physical discomfort.
