I had my cartilage keloid for a couple years now. After reading all this I just cleaned it and poked it with a tiny syringe to see what I could pull out of it. Result is no liquid or anything, but the keloid started bleeding at the puncture wounds. Well, after the bleeding stopped I rubbed fresh garlic (I cut a small garlic glove until the oil surfaced) on it because I think that is what the olive oil/garlic is really about. I think the olive oil is just a carrying agent for the garlic oil, which I will cut out that way. I am going to do the garlic treatment twice a day for two weeks and see what happens. If that shouldn't work I will try the tea tree oil, even though that I am allergic to it, I think twice a day for two weeks as well. If that doesn't work I will try the seas salt soak, twice a day for two week. If that doesn't work I will try the distilled water soak, twice a day for a week. That makes 2 months and enough time of trial and error with natural remedies; especially as the soaks are with heat and should therefore replace the tea bag treatment that was suggested here. Unfortunately I cannot try the pressure treatment as the keloid is in an area on my ear where I would have to use band aids to fixate the pressure gauze and I am allergic to the glue in band aids. If none of that works I will see my doc and see what he can recommend.
I will keep you all posted.

Did you use garlic and olive oil while your earring was in? My keloid is still small and my piercing is only 4 months old.

When I got my nose periced my nose started to grow one. I searched online for remedies and found one saying use tea tres oil. I saw that I had it at home and used it. Over time using it daily my keloid went away! If you try it I hope it works.
