You can use it for some time to soften the keloid, but steroid injections may be needed later or now if necessary. Check with a plastic surgeon if its a keloid or hypertrophic scar. It would be best not to get it operated

There are minimal chances of infection with injections but once there is infection its very difficult to treat keloid have a 80-90% chance of recurrence, but if the infection persist then better to get it removed with intralesional excision with skin grafting.

Good afternoon. Regarding your query on 5 year old keloids, depending on the size and locations various allopathic options exist. Silicone sheet treatment is indeed one of the options. Contractubex gel at this stage (5 year gap) is unlikely to produce much effect if any. Regarding homeopathic options, I hope a doctor of the relevant field can provide you with an answer.
