Keloid Earring – Pressure Earring

The keloid earring is a pressure earring used to treat and prevent earlobe keloids. It applies constant, adjustable pressure to the earlobe after keloid removal, which helps flatten the scar and reduce the risk of the keloid returning. It is available in three sizes: large, medium and small.

What Is a Keloid Earring?

Keloids are raised, thick scars that grow beyond the original wound, and the earlobe is one of the most common sites, often after ear piercing. Because keloids frequently return after surgical removal, doctors often combine surgery with pressure therapy. A keloid earring clamps the earlobe between two plates held by screws, so the pressure can be set and adjusted.

Features of the Keloid Earring

• Constant pressure: helps flatten the scar and prevent recurrence.
• Adjustable screws: set and adjust the pressure precisely.
• 3 sizes: large, medium and small to fit different earlobes.
• Lightweight: comfortable for long daily wear.
• Discreet design: sits closely on the earlobe.
• Reusable: for the same patient during treatment.

Why Use a Keloid Earring After Surgery?

Keloid removal alone has a high recurrence rate. Applying pressure to the healing earlobe for several months is a simple, non-invasive way to lower that risk. A keloid earring with screws lets the doctor set the correct pressure and the patient keep it consistent every day.

Wearing Tips

Pressure therapy works best when it is consistent. Patients should wear the earring for the hours recommended each day and check the screws regularly, because the pressure can loosen as the swelling goes down. Alternating sides of the earlobe and keeping the skin clean helps prevent irritation. Regular follow-up lets the doctor adjust the size or pressure as the scar changes.

Clinical Uses

It is suitable for:

• After surgical excision of earlobe keloids
• Alongside steroid injections for keloids
• Prevention of keloid recurrence after ear piercing
• Treatment of hypertrophic earlobe scars

How to Use the Keloid Earring

1. Choose the size that covers the scar area: large, medium or small.
2. Place the plates on either side of the earlobe.
3. Tighten the screws until the pressure is firm but comfortable.
4. Wear the keloid earring for the number of hours and months recommended by your doctor.

Cleaning and Storage

Clean the keloid earring and the earlobe regularly as instructed by your doctor. Dry it before putting it back on, and store it in a clean, dry place when not in use.
