Hard : Hard to tell the best option for you so i would see a dermatologist. It depends a bit on location and size as to whether injection or surgery would be a better option for you. Read about some treatment options for keloids at the link below. I hope that helps.

Rx asap: Forget about trying to et other people to help you, help yourself! there are two inexpensive ways to prevent/treat earlobe keloids: the best is pressure ear-studs, and then silicone, where i prefer a sticker type, and prefer to combine the two. Failing this, you will need either steroid or bleomycin injections asap, or it will continue to grow. Do not let anyone try and cut it!will grow!
