No to aspirin pastes: If you really have a keloid, Aspirin pastes will not work. Neither will any other creams, pastes, or potions. Non surgical treatment of keloids with injections of steroids, like kenalog (triamcinolone), (triamcinolone) may improve the keloid. If this does not work after several treatments, 6 weeks apart. Then surgical excision with possible radiation therapy or kenalog (triamcinolone) injections may be needed.

No aspirin: First, keloids in the central portion of the face are very rare. Most likely you have a hypertrophic scar caused by an irritation such as the metal in the nose ring. Be conservative and try a mild steroid injection. Since this probably isn't a true keloid, consider having it excised if there isn't improvement with the injection.
