Whats the best way to remove keloids from the skin?

Conservative:


1.By giving intrakeloidal injection of steroids.-Best





2.By giving intrakeloidal injection of Vitamin A- better result


3.Intrakeloidal injection of Methotrexate - with some success.


4.Deep X- ray therapy- only with some success.


5.Intrakeloidal injection of Hyaluronidase - may be tried.


Surgery:


1. Excision and re suturing but recurs.


2.Shaving away the excess scar tissue and then resurfacing the area by the skin graft.-not with good results.

Plastic surgery. I have a huge one on my throat from multiple surgeries from cancer, and it won't go away unless I have plastic surgery. They do sell creams for them, I don't know how well they work. Best advice, ask your Dr.
Reply:steroid injection twice a month, then surgical removal, but it might just get it worst.
