- Hi there! My name is India Jasiri and I'm an actress living in Los Angeles, California. I just wanted to share a series of videos that will update you on my current keloid scar journey.
I've dealt with keloids since I was 12- about 14 years now. I've recently discovered a treatment (steroid tape!) for them that has never been offered to me, and isn't widely used (or known about, I think) so I am very very excited to share the news in this video!!
My hope is that you like this video and will look out for the rest- the next one will be about how I managed to get steroid tape and my progress with it!
Much love,
India
P.S.

Youre eyes are to die for ! Your man is a lucky one
Well thank you!
Thank you! I bought this tape a while ago based off your videos and they worked BEAUTIFULLY! 🙌🏽🙌🏽
Wow that's amazing; so glad to hear that!
Great video, the tape really works, thanks so much for this excellent advice. Flattened my scars in days and genuinely made me feel more confident, thank the Lord. Thanks again and hope this video gets the 000s of views it truly deserves
That’s amazing- I am so glad the tape is working for you!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽 thank you :)
How did you get the tape?
hey, have you stop using the tape ? i wonder if the scar will be raised again after not using the tape
@@micasa7331 Hi! I'm still using it- progress seems to have stalled a bit.
That's a valid concern. I don't believe the studies ever followed up with their patients to see. If the inflammation is fully resolved when you stop using, I don't think it will grow again.
@@indiajasiri alright thankyou so much! my scar is still so red even after 5 months
I had the same experience. I found that study actually before coming across your video. I have a large keloid across where my two chest muscles meet. It's so painful and itchy and has caused me to live my whole adult life with body confidence issues, and not feeling like I can take off my top even with those closest to me. I've ordered the strongest take from Japan the 20ug one so fingers crossed it has results! It's very frustrating that one, you cannot get this in the UK and also after all these years the doctors either don't seem to care about what I am experiencing, or have just failed to mention this possible treatment. I hope you have so much success!!
Ugh; I'm so sorry to hear about your experience! Keloids are so tough on our quality of life physically and mentally. Fingers crossed super tightly for you- thank you!!
Where you got it from?
Hey where did you order the tape from I'm also in the UK and struggling to find the tape :(
It work ?
I use a smooth crystal stone on the small hypertrophic scars I get. As soon as one fully heals I massage it with the stone thoroughly with cocoa butter and or coconut oil to not break or irritate the skin but you can use lotion or whatever. Once the scar is soft and mushy I then cut the sticky parts off a bandage and bandage the smooth stone onto the keloid for an entire day and replace after a shower and continue this process for about a week (most of the time less)and it will be completely flat. After you think it’s flat enough which is around 3 days for me, take the pressure off and moisturize and it will fade and continue to be flat, basically gone. If it starts to raise again because you irritated it, bandage it again with the stone. I’ve had two on my chest that are completely gone and not noticeable at all because of this. I don’t get keloids as far as know so I can’t say you’d get the same result with a keloid(maybe?)but this WORKS for hypertrophic scars.
This is super interesting! It's reminding me of the pressure earrings that are recommended post-surgery. This might help with flatter keloids that are on the chest and back. A friend of mine presses a heavy book against his forehead for a tiny keloid he has that comes and goes mysteriously throughout his life 😂For round ones typically found on earlobes, I can't see this working very well as the tissue is extremely hard and not usually malleable.
This also reminds me of people taping a penny on a toddler's belly button to make it an innie hahah! I'm glad this method works for you, maybe I'll try it on my arm if I remember!!
I've tried everything without success, until recently. I purchased a Maglev device that operates like a laser, and blasted my keloid at home and noticed a good improvement over the coming months. I then purchased a Cryopen and froze what was left of the keloid (minus 89°C) again, and then after 6 months it has now completely disappeared. Most importantly I know it will not be returning, because as everyone with keloids knows, a few weeks after treatment with attempts to remove them, you start to notice the area is turning red or purple again, and a severe itch starts to materialise, then weeks later the keloid is back with a vengence. But thankfully not this time, it has gone for good.
Oh man, you're about to send me into another research spiral. 😂 Hahah. Wow. I'm glad to hear that this has worked for you! I'm gonna go look up Maglev devices. My keloid is in such a weird place now that I think the tape is like my only hope, but I'm still super curious. I hope it never comes back for you!
Meglev device
Hi, please send the link where we can purchase the Maglev and cryopen. Thank you.
Are you talking about the maglev plasma pen or is it something different?
Will it work on hypertrophic scars ?
Wow this is crazy! I had 3 small keloids on my upper back and have no idea what caused them. Had the injections done and while they flattened.. they resurfaced again. Will definitely give this a try.
Which injection you take?
@@rushabhgawde5801 cortisone injections
@@raychy2059 did it work??
It work ?
Thank you for the information. I've been Post-Op from surgery nearly 6 weeks and I see some issues beginning and all the Plastic surgeon staff recommended was an expensive cream with a little silicone in it that isn't working. I'll check into the steroid cream.
I'm so sorry to here yours didn't work out. They also recommended me expensive cream and alternatives.
@@makeMePrettie I looked into the steroid tape, which I bought from Amazon and it is working better but it works slow. give that a try.
Try to use castor oil. Massage it in when applying. You will notice a difference
What keloid strips did you use ? Where did you get it from. ?
I just wish the tapes weren't so expensive and so short. One roll only last me less 5 days. Do you have recommendations for steroid tape you're using?
They are definitely expensive. As far as I’m aware there’s only one brand that is currently prescribed in the US and it’s Cordran tape. My roll has lasted me over a year and I haven’t finished it yet, but I do have a smaller keloid. Where are you getting yours?
For your ear you MUST use compression earing post surgery. i had 3 surgeries before i used the compression earings. They have not grown back 5 years and counting.
I’m glad that’s worked for you! It didn’t for me. It might be because the scar tissue was never fully removed, but I believe research on compression earrings is also pretty dated. Happy 5 years 🙏🏽
@@indiajasiri thanks dear. I know the feeling of just wanting to feel normal. It can't hurt to just try the compression wired earing the way I did. Earlums have ones that look like round earings. I just wish someone had told me about this earlier. Even the doctor who did all my operations didn't have knowledge about them.
@@TiberiusHassius in my first video and in my last comment I note that I have tried it and it didn’t work for me (after my first surgery about 10 years ago); thank you. On one ear my scar tissue is gone and on my other I now don’t have a lobe to try it on anymore, which is why I’m trying steroid tape 👍🏽
Lucky you , wish u the best.
Indeed. Thank you; likewise!
Hi mam i have many keloids on chest. I tried all treatments but no improvement. Plz tell me which silicon should I use. Iam from India.
Eclar plaster works. I ordered some from Japan back in May. It’s very strong though bc you’ll notice a difference within a week or so. Tape plus injections really flattens the scar well. Also any new scar prone to keloid can be prevented if the tape is applied as soon as the wound is closed. However 5 months after I stopped applying the keloid regrew. So it might be a process that needs repeating until it stops growing all together. Again it’s a powerful chemical so I’d be cautious when applying it, especially to non scarred skin. I’d recommend everyone who has keloids to look into it
Did you get any redness around the scar? I did manage to flatten my scars but currently trying to deal with the redness. Maybe it will dissapear over time.
@@DavidTehDude Always try to moisturize it
Do these tapes have skin color or are the transparent??
Did you get any irritation for the non-scar areas?
Could you also link me to the site you got it from please? Thank you so much in advance! 😀
@@DavidTehDude hi! I’m currently doing the eclar plaster and noticed redness around my scars from the tape. Did yours fade away? Or found a product that helped with the redness
What a beautiful and unique name to have. India 🤩
Thank you! Hats off to my momma. :)
I hate to sound shallow or come off as a creep, but you are so gorgeous! Your eyes and skin and hair color is just everything! I pray your keloid scar treatment is a success. I have a hypertrophic scar on my forehead that is really gettin on my nerves. I had surgery and the doctor burnt the incision to close up the skin, as a result, I have a burn scar. I’ve been doing research on scar revision and came across your video. I’m definitely going to look into kelaid and test it out. I appreciate all the info and God bless! 🙏🏾
Hey Tae- thank you for the compliments and well wishes! So kind. 🖤
I am appalled at the doctor who burnt your incision. Are you kidding. 😩
Since yours is on your forehead- I’d be extra cautious with kelaid or steroid tape if you wanted to try that. It might cause discoloration and irritation and since it’s on your face; that could be pretty upsetting. I just read about kinesio tape- I feel like alternating silicone strips with the tape would help your burn scar a lot and not have any risks. But you know what’s best for you! Hope whatever you try works 🤞🏽🤞🏽
@@indiajasiri Thank you, will give it a try forsure. Right now I’m using a medical grade silicone gel, and I’m praying to see results in the near future. Again, thanks for all the advice and I appreciate your help! 🙏🏾
@@taelewhi, did the medical grade silicone gel help?
Hey ? Please tell me ....I have a burn scar keliod on my arm , If not removed can it cause any complications?
Hi there. There are no major complications resulting from keloids that I know of. They can be painful, itchy, and restrict movement if on a joint or close to a joint.
I just ordered some from Japan! I am excited! Worth the money. Was $90 for a 50ct, not too bad
Did it work for u
best of luck!!
Do you have the link
any updates :)
Where did you order them from? I’m currently in South Africa, can I have them delivered here??Please share!
Hi I have keloid for my chest I took steroids injection n used silicon sheet is this tape will work on my keloid
Where can we get these tape?
@india
Thanks for sharing. English is not my first language but i would try.
Im 28 years old and i have keloid since 2014. I live in germany and i visit i dont know how "specialist" and done a lot of research myself i have tried a lot of things even had 2 sugeries and they grew back.
My life is a mess right now i dont really know what to do.
Since i tried so many things those injections sucked for sure. Now i found a doctor who does intralasion nitrogen cryo which could reducte the size of them up to 50%
Now i just came across your video it made me wonna change my mind to maybe do the surgery the use the tapes.
We did the injections after the 2 surgeries i had but still grew
So maybe that could help me i dont really know what to do.
Unfortunaletely i have a big one on my chin it looks like someone tried separate my head from my body every time i look in the miror i see it or when i talk to people,
I have no life beside work its crazy
Forgot to mention the cryo thing gonna be a battle with the insurance first just submited all the documents 2 weeks ago
Thank you for sharing! I'm sorry to hear about how much this is affecting your quality of life. The insurance battle is the most disappointing because keloids and scars are painful. I looked into cryo as well but the size of my keloids were a problem and my dermatologist did not recommend. I was convinced cryo would get rid of them though after my research. What did you end up deciding?
I want to pierce my ear but am prone to it, what can I do to prevent it appearing after piercing.
Hi there! That I don’t know. I don’t think there is a way to prevent it if you are prone, as there is still a lot of mystery around why keloids form in the first place. My mom got me the highest quality earrings, we kept them clean, and it still happened.
This is my second one on my chest. My first one was in 2008. I got injections, which were painful. But the keloid went away. Then in 2018 or 2019, another grew on my chest. The doctor were doing injections but they were so painful. I asked for other options. I was told surgery, but that will be painful. I willing to try anything that is not painful. Thanks for the video.
Hey! Idk if you will notice this but I had a pimple on my chest last feb and not its like a small keloid. Still tiny but its itchy and pinkish. I had a surgery yesterday on my face close to my ear and its pretty long stitches. I’m really afraid that if my wound heals It might form keloid. Idk what to do. On my small forming keloid scar on my chest I use silicon gel but I think its getting bigger idk. I hope you could help me cause I want to flatten it specially that its not fully grown up yet.
Hi! Sorry to hear about this. Definitely watch these videos to see if you can get access to steroid tape. Not a doctor or medical professional but I think it’d help.
@@indiajasiri I’m going to buy Eclar Plaster in website you have on your video. Its gonna be $148, shipping included plus no need a prescription. I’m waiting for the payment instruction tho but hopefully I’ll get it today also my keloid is just started to grow and its small I think it would be better to treat it with steroid tape before it grows bigger.
Dermovate (clobetasol) + silicone sheets also works aswell.
Read a study on dermovate + 24 hour occlusion.
Topical corticosteroid creams didn’t help me but maybe that’s what the silicone is for, right? I imagine it would be best for keloids on flat surfaces like chest or back, and difficult to make work with keloids located on the earlobes/ears.
Can you please link the study you read for people to check out?
Its the occlusion which opens the pores for better absorbtion into the keloid. Its basically the same as steroid tape. In the UK its easier to get dermovate cream than tape.
clobetasol is a steroid. stay safe.
I can't find your video on cryotherapy, I want to get it done on my face
Hi! I don’t have a video on cryotherapy; I have not had it done. I would definitely consult a dermatologist about that.
Hi, thank you😊
Of course!
I completely agree with kelaid - I took my time to research every ingredient online and it was a glorified steroid cream. I was not happy to find that out. And the price is obnoxious. I do not recommend when you can get a cheaper product with steroids in it.
I’m glad others are also doing their research. Best of luck; I hope you find something that helps even just a little and happy new year!
Thanks
Can anyone plz tell me after how much do a scar start showing a sign as a keloid . Because my scar is raised and pink and its not thay painful and ichy and its almost 20 months but it didn't expand . So i think mine is a hypertrophic scar . But i really want ro know from you people how much did it took you people to realise that its a keloid.
some time it expand some time it's not....the Keloid!! Silicone tapes are best for them .
However I'm also using from last 3 months they are suberb
Hi again Anureet! :) if your scar has not expanded past the original wound size, it is not a keloid. Hypertrophic scars can be painful and itchy. Mine gets very itchy when I exercise. I am not a doctor, but I think it's safe to say yours is not a keloid. I believe you would definitely have had more growth by now.
Great vedio.. unfortunately I had keloid in my chin near to my ears, now about 2 years ago.. I tried a lot of injections but still keloid being much bigger with itching. When I see this video I tried to search about this tape but unfortunately there is no same type in my country I’m fro Middle East. I much need it to get rid of this keloid in my face.
I'm sorry to hear that :(
Hey can we go for laser??
Wow amazing eyes you look so beautiful
Thank you; I appreciate that!
Were do buy steroid tapes
Explain about Scar silica gel sheets
Hi Shree! I haven’t used them, but from my understanding they keep the skin moist and help promote scar healing. They won’t work for keloids though.
What brand do you use thats effective? Can you recommend something to us?
Aromas work like miracle for me Top notch quality using from last 3 months
The brand depends on where you live. In the US, the brand is called Cordran. In the UK, it's fludroxycortide Tape (previously known as Haelan® Tape). If you happen to be in Japan...try "Eclar plaster 20 mcg/cm2."
@@Europeanmeet Hi! Aromas is not a steroid tape brand.
@@indiajasiri are there any difference between the fludroxycortide tape compared to the eclar plaster?
@@Ray_Viz yes, the eclar tape is stronger
where can i buy those steroid tape😭😭😭 badly need it .i have so many keloids on my body. sis🥺🥺
Amazon
@@pjk7685 may o know the exact brand name ..🥺🥺🥺 theres a lot of tape when i search it on amazon .. many thanks
Did you find them and did they work?
I have 5 scars in my chest and I was been looking for solution for long time , thank for your advice
Of course, hope you find success!
Do you have a link so I can buy it?
There are a sources linked in the description of this video: ua-cam.com/video/Fb86Yj54vpg/v-deo.html
I have keloids for the over 10 years , I have done several research . My best option that came up was Kelaid, but staying in Africa it was difficult to get it I only received the package last week . So I was inspired to do more research and I came across your videos, that someone recommended in keloid trend .
I actually will like to try to steroid tapes . I have keloid of my face , neck, knee and pelvic area .
Kenalog works for those on my feet but I am been suffering with these keloids especially those on my face .
Thanks 🙏
Kelaid was definitely interesting and enticing; I hope it works for you! If it doesn’t, on to the next thing as always right? Maybe tape will. Sending you healing vibes ❤️💪🏽
@@indiajasiri next option always .. that is why I keep searching in community , where options are discussed .
@@harryhenrykargbo9648 hi, any progress after using kelaid so far ?
@@micasa7331 no progress whatsoever, I think it is just getting bigger and more itching. I am lost at the moment . @kelaid didn’t work .
@@harryhenrykargbo9648 what about the steriod tape?
I have on my chest I did steroid injections and the tapes aswell also I did surgically removed but, I can see no difference only temporarily! The only way to get rid off ie: to flatten …which works for me is clean diet…. Sugar is the sorest thing ever to have in your diet…. All the best!
I'm glad cleaning up your diet helps you! I have tried cutting out sugar for a while and taking anti-inflammatory supplements. Now I'm attempting a primarily plant-based diet, but diet hasn't affected mine much. Best of luck!
Cub u plz suggest diet
@@rosesareredrose1074 I’m not a dietitian but I would say going plant-based would be ideal. Lower overall inflammation in the body
@@indiajasiri ok thank you so mach 🙏
i had used laser, injections, silicone tape…. went for a treatment in thailand and singapore.. noo luck..
Unfortunately I haven’t had much luck with those either :( hopefully you can track down steroid tape and try!
You can get it surgically removed and it has a 70% chance of returning. If you get it removed followed by 3 straight days of radiation (very mild form) it has only a 3% chance of returning.
Yep, I've had mine removed 3 times now 😓 Different form of radiation done during the removal that didn't work so well.
Hello I have a keloid on my forehead is it safe to use the tape there
Hi! In the study, a woman used it on her forehead, but I would check with a dermatologist before applying to your face.
Okay thank you
You are gorgeous I momma !
Thank you love🥺❤
Mam can this tape use on face jaw area??
In one of the studies, the tape is used on the forehead, but I personally would be cautious about using the tape super close to the face/on the face.

Now twenty years I’m so tired of these ugly things
Hope they’re not painful ❤️
thanks. i subscribed. i really want these gone. God knows.
🤞🏽 I feel your pain
Plz tell name of tape and price?
I think it's Cordran tape. Google it.
Or keloda silicon tape or gel.
@@markodosen2633 Aromas silicone sheet equally super effective ......for 4 months supply cart they charged me approx 35 $ .
i used this tape about 18 years ago for a short while and just picked up some today from Walgreens and thank goodness the military paid for it. 900 bucks. I also take keloid injection, which i know works. My melaninated skin is sensitive. My doc told me years ago, British people (white) have keloid issues also. I thought it was just black people.
18 years ago. Wow! I’m glad you had access to it then! Unfortunately injections did not help me much.
Keloids affect many different races/ethnicities; POC are just more prone to them for some reason. Keloids suck!
White british i have these aswell. Its common among people in the NE england.
@@brettharter143 my doctor told me that also. I was surprised.
Pls how can I get it
Why's she so fine tho..
