Keloids
How can keloids be treated?
Keloids can be difficult to treat. Keloids are scars and it is important to know that a scar can never change back into normal skin. The goals in treating keloids are to:
- Reduce pain and itch
- Flatten and lighten the lesion so that it is more like the surrounding skin
The most common types of treatment include
- Injection of steroid into the keloid
- Laser therapy
- Cryotherapy
- Silicone sheets and gel
- Surgical excision
- Radiotherapy
Your dermatologist will propose a treatment plan after a detailed consultation and examination.
