Hi,
My question is directed at people who have had a keloid scar and have had it removed in some sort of way.
I have on and it's the size of a dime, on my chest. I would have no problem if it was just a scar (I think they're unique) but this keloid is raised, ALWAYS red & attracts too much attention to my chest. I tried makeup, and steroid injections, neither of the two work.
I'm thinking about doing plastic surgery, but I'm looking for other options, so if you recommend ANYTHING, I'd be grateful. At this point, any ideas would be wonderful. (link)
Talk to a plastic surgeon... There are multiple procedures they can do, like cutting it out vs laser surgery or something. I looked into it once and I remember there were 3 options, but those are the only ones I thought about. I'm pretty sure there's a cream on the market that says it'll reduce scars, but I doubt it would actually work (like stretch mark creams.... sigh). It could be worth a try if you dont like the surgery options though.

Thank You
