Has anyone had a successful surgical removal of a keloid?

Does anyone know if Cortisone 10 gel, over the counter can help stop an infection from a tongue piercing or a nose piercing? I want to get a tongue ring and possibly a nose ring but I'm scared to because I think I may have what they call Keloid skin. Help

  • Answer:

    It is not likely. Cortisone is a steroid. Steroids have a tendency to weaken the body's immune system by suppressing T-Cell growth. Cortisone is typically used to alleviate inflammation and allergies, not for infections.
