They were very painful and for the next few years I chose to not get any further injections and instead put on Cordran tape which is a topical patch for my scars. They helped a little, they made my scars soften, and look a little better. However, the results were not significant enough for me so I went in for injections. I was very scared because I had a bad experience but the injections barely hurt !! The cordran had softened my scars to the point where the pain was definetly bareable. I know how upsetting keloid scars are, I have suffered with them for years to my embarrassment (it always brings me down when I get insensitive questions "How did you get that?!") and I shy away from certain clothing styles because of them. I would recommend getting the injections (if your scars are very hard then maybe Cordran tape can help) they flatten the scar and improve the appearance! I will later get laser treatments (they are not covered by insurance so they may run you $200 a session but I was told I only needed 2 sessions) which drastically reduce the redness. I hope this helps someone! I have 4 small keloids on my back. 3 years ago i got cortisone from my derm.

Vinegar (acid) could only do damage, vitamin E does little good and might actually make things worse. The rest can't hurt but won't help either. If you want to stay with non-invasive treatments I would suggest silicone sheets or silicone gel (e.g. Strataderm, Kelo-cote, Dermatix).
