keloid scar


Question Posted Friday September 12 2008, 5:13 pm

I have this keloid scar that formed after i had a beauty mark removed. The scar is huge and it pops up out of my skin. Are there any ways of getting rid of it besides the whole chop it off again thing?

I had a keloid scar after the same procedure. It took me years to ask my dermatologist about what I could do about it. He gave me a single shot of some kind of steroid directly into the scar [it sounds really painful, but it's just a pinch] and now it's nice and smooth.


I'm pretty sure a regular doctor could do the same thing, or else refer you to someone who could.


EDIT: It was prednizone. If you ask a doctor, they'd know which one to use =]
