I was just wondering how can i get rid of a big keloid on my knee?

Probably not a keloi: You probably have a hypertrophic scar rather than a keloid. Most people confuse the two. A keloid, by definition overgrows the area of injury. It is frequently seen in people of color. Do a search on the internet for keloid and let me know. If it is a keloid, frequently cortisone injecitons help.
