Hi Megha,
Keloids most of the times do not respond to topical medicines alone. You can consult your doctor to treat it with cryotherapy and/or intralesional steroids and intralesional 5 fluorouracil. Certain topical creams like potent steroids, silicone gel or allium Cepa based creams act as good adjunctive therapy. As you have a small lesion you will surely have good response. Hope that answers your query. Take care.
