An Ear Keloid Treatment in Pune. An ear keloid appears when a raised scar on the ear (such as after a piercing or injury) grows beyond the original wound-site. These lumps can be firm, shiny, and may itch or feel tender. While benign, they can impact aesthetics and cause discomfort. Because people in India (including Maharashtra) often have higher risk due to skin type and genetic factors, early intervention is important.
Why the Ear is a Common Site
Ear lobes and cartilage are common piercing sites and experience micro-trauma. When the body’s healing response is over-active, excessive collagen is deposited, causing the scar to grow outside its original boundary. This tends to happen more in individuals with darker skin tones, and when the wound is under motion or tension.
Recognising the Symptoms
Look out for:
A raised, firm lump on the ear that keeps growing beyond the original piercing or wound site
Colour changes (pink, red, or dark) compared to surrounding skin
Itching, burning, or tenderness around the lesion
Distortion in ear shape or difficulty wearing earrings or headphones
Treatment Approach by Dr Amit Mulay in Pune
Looking for Ear Keloid Treatment in Pune. Visit our Pune clinic (Shop-30, Ground Floor, Kohinoor Majestic, Behind Kundan Hyundai, Chinchwad, MIDC, Pune 411019) we offer a tailored treatment plan specifically for ear keloids. Dr Amit Mulay
1. Assessment & Planning
We first evaluate the size, shape, duration and location of the ear keloid, as well as any recurrence risk. This helps determine the best strategy: non-surgical, surgical or a combined approach.
2. Non-Surgical Treatments
Corticosteroid injections into the keloid to soften and stop further growth.
Silicone gel sheets or pressure earrings especially after piercings or surgery.
Laser or advanced therapies may be considered depending on the scar’s nature and ear location.
3. Surgical Removal + Combined Therapy
For larger ear keloids or those not responding to conservative therapy:
The keloid is excised carefully, preserving ear structure and shape.
Immediately post-surgery we apply adjunctive therapy (pressure earrings, injections, laser) to minimise recurrence.
Because the ear is a high-motion, visible area, combined therapy gives best results.
4. Prevention & Follow-up
Avoid additional ear piercings, tattoos or trauma in the treated area until fully healed.
Use sun protection, silicone sheets and avoid undue pressure or irritation to the ear.
Attend follow-up visits to monitor any early sign of regrowth.
