Reply:Keloid scars are usually there to stay unless you see a surgeon about decreasing the size of it. Laser surgery is used on scars now. Talk to your surgeon.
Reply:There is no truly effective treatment for keloids. They may be reduced in size through a corticosteroid injection or application of topical retinoids, or removed by freezing with liquid nitrogen (cryosurgery). However, new keloids often develop at the site of the treatment. Keloids can be reduced in size by applying a sheet of silicon gel over the growth. Keloids that are disfiguring because of location and color may be improved through pulse dye laser treatment.





Simple surgical excision and closure can cause a re-occurrence of the problem in approximately 50% of individuals. Radiation therapy to the keloid healing site has also been met with some success, particularly when a certain amount of radiation (1,500 to 2,000 rads) are given to the healing site in the postoperative period. Decreasing the skin tension can also benefit the keloids. Some physicians recommend skin grafting to the healing site so as to decrease the tension to the area and promote normal healing and lessen the chance for keloid formation.





Pharmacological management has been also utilized for keloid treatment. This has been met with some success. The benefits of pharmacological management is that surgery is not required. Radiation and other modalities can be invasive. Intralesional injection with Triamcinolone tends to decrease the tendency for keloid and hypertrophic scar formation.
Reply:Keloids are scarring of tissue, being of the type that are more obvious and deeper red in color as well as usually raised. They result from damaged tissue due to trauma, and they...being scars, cannot heal further. They're healed tissues that end up as scarring known as keloidal scars. On one hand, scars can be managed for up to a year by the following methods: (1) tenolysis - a surgical procedure on the scar to slice the scar away, but...the slicing itself is a new injury, and another scar might result. (2) scar therapy e.g. silicon gel pad such as cica-care which are available in pharmacies to be applied with constant pressure to flatten the scar. this is to be coupled with manual therapy of scar massage e.g. rubbing the scar itself to flatten it and to tear loose the scar tissue inside to soften the scar. I would recommend that you avoid direct exposure to sun as it tends to darken the scarring.





Suggestion: see your local GP, and get a referral to see the hand occupational therapist for scar management, that'd help better. =)
Reply:I had two lots of malignant melanomas and had to get a fair bit of tissue removed and now have two very unattractive keloid scars. I have one behind my knee that's really bad and I thinks it's because I didn't rest it enough.





I was told to use aloe vera and vitamin e lotion and I have noticed a slight improvement on the scar that is on my leg.





There is also a product on the market called bio oil which I am going to try.





I don't think these scars ever heal, I guess the only possible solution would be to ask your GP for a referral to a plastic surgeon which of course would be expensive.





I think the best thing to do is to learn to live with them.
Reply:Depending on the size and severity of the from of keloid you have but if you had only a small one it can be manage by keloid cream but if it covers most of yout body its better to check it with a dermatologist.
