So the stinging has stopped. I have just woken up. My keloid is purple and is completely losing its flesh tone. It doesn't hurt at all when it's just chilling there. Of course when it's disturbed, you're definitely gonna feel something lol.
This is the Keloid in the night before on the left, and what it looks like now in the afternoon.
As you can see there is a drastic change. This is a good sign. The Keloid is suffocating and losing life. The aim is to get it off period. Although this is my second time round doing this rubber band method (Yes, it grew back) I understand that it won't be the exact same as my journey last time, so I will have to be patient. I got to admit though, that I was comparing before, judging if it were going faster or slower, but I shouldn't be. The same with how you shouldn't compare your journey with somebody else's. The aim is to get it to drop off, no matter how long the journey (:
You can see around my ear is getting red. I'm not worrying too much about it. My Keloid hasn't leaked any fluids just yet. Cleaning hasn't happened. Just a quick rinse while in the shower is all it's had so far. So far so good. Now it's just the waiting game.
I really do hope it falls off on its own without having to use string.. The tightening process is such a drag...
New update: So here it is at night. One from the front view and the other a side view. Now it's the waiting game... Tick tock tick tock.
I really do hope it manages to come off on its own because I really don't want to use thread.. But I will have to if I feel the need to.
It is currently the holidays and I am hoping this comes off before school starts back up.

How do I know if I needed to use thread instead? I am on day 6 and Keloid has been dark purple since day 3...should I just wait? I'm lost
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry I haven't been as attentive as I should've been! How did your journey turn out? -- you know when to use thread when the rubber bands are too big/ loose to wrap around the keloid to suffocate it in its shrunken state.
