Snails are helping me.
Warning to those who are into piercing their body parts - Don't do it!
Many years back, I got a 2nd piercing on my both my ears. Young and brash. Anyway, a few years later, the second piercing on my right ear somehow got infected. My piercings have got infected before, but it will turn out ok afew days later. Somehow, this one got worse! To my utmost horror, there was this 'Thing' growing on/over it. Went to the doctor to find out what it is. Maybe, get him to surgically remove it or I was hoping for a miracle cream of some sort. Well, bad news. He told me, it was a keloid. A keloid appears mostly on dark skin people, commonly seen on africans and asians. The most likely areas that it will appear is behind the ear (like mine), on the chest and on the arm.
Keloids is the overhealing of a wound. For example, if you have a cut, the body would have its own natural healing process to heal the wound. The thing that heals it is called collagen. Somehow, for people who have keloids, their bodies keep producing collagen on the wound even though it has healed. That is why, it develops a keloid.
Anyway, back to my story, the doctor said, surgery is possible but there is a high tendency that the keloid will grow again and this time.... BIGGER! Yikes! (Because it is another wound) OR... he recommended to inject steroids into the keloid over a period of 6 months to reduce its size, and that comes with a catch.. he warned that it'll be P-A-I-N-F-U-LLLLLL!! ( yeay! :s)
So, I sought natural remedy. googled anything on keloid treatment, and thank god! i found this website www.abateit.com that sells creams to remove keloids. Was doubtful at first, but i saw all the testimonials and decided "what have i got to lose?" (maybe just the keloid :p)
This creams is made from snail secretion that is left on its path, which helps the skin moisturize and repair. This secretion is used by the snails to repair its shell or any damaged organs. So, i'm using it now. I'm thinking it must be working cause everytime I put it on, it kind of itches! I'm just imagining, the snails repairing it away! hehe. This cream also removes sun spots, wrinkles, acne scars... etc etc..
Anw, i'll put pics of the before and after if it works. :p
