Day 4 - where's my hope?

Hello!

I don't know where we are going? I am losing hope. I need some motivation. But here I am sticking it out. Oh dear. What to do... wait it out some more I guess....

I've noticed that it's shrinking. Or is it? well the rubberbands are losing its tightness I can see because they're thicker. But they are also spreading out upwards. Whereas before they were all tightly around the base. I hope something is happening.. The string is too much maintenance for my liking.
No pain. Only pain when bumped. Haven't had a thorough clean just yet because it's not leaking or anything like that.

Updated photo:

Left: taken in the noon time. The Keloid is still visible in the centre.

Middle: Taken in the late afternoon. You can see the keloid has shrunk inside the rubber bands.

Right: A side view in the late afternoon. The Keloid has clearly shrunk.

I'm really hoping this is an express route to having the keloid fall off. I haven't experienced it this way before. This is a good sign to me. We will see as time comes.

I am thinking about removing the rubber bands. Will that be a good idea? It seems like there's an overload on it now.. Then I'd probably put a really tight rubber band on it, or a tight string on it. Who knows. I'll keep you all in the loop.

 

Further update: I was trying to take another picture of it before bed time but couldn't get a good pic. Quality problems. I did examine the keloid closely in the mirror and noticed dried excrement. Its minor enough that my hair doesn't get stuck to it so I'm guessing the base has started to cut. I will leave it for now and will clean it in my shower.
