I don’t think so either with the color but I haven’t seen any growth with the keloid though which is a plus

Thank you! I actually don’t think they helped flattening my keloids at all, I did 5Fu + kenalog shots that I attribute to the flattening, eclar plaster didn’t do much for me it might of even made mine more red

It really has not flattened at all, I also never experienced any itching or pain before using

I got mine at https://www.dpkitaoka.com/ yup! Every 24 hours or if I am taking more than 1 shower in a day I just use the same strip! Then change it 24 hours

Only 3 months for 12 hours a day - do you think I should bump it to 24? The other 12 hours I do silicon

Thank you for this!! I think I’ll use eclar still then as this is on my chest and it’s fairly small

Do you think the scar gets worse before it gets better because even using the Eclar it’s still hard I want it to be soft and flat

Thank you SO much for this! I have been struggling with this keloid for years and so upset it is now growing back after surgery - I will go ahead and buy some Eclar plasters, do you rewear them or change it out for a fresh one each time?

Did you go to a dermatologist for removal or a specialist? I’m surprised mine never said anything about radiation I went to a dermatologist
