I have a keloid in my chest and nipple for the past one year more before it was small and now it is very itchy and getting big how to cure permanently. Is there any operation required or can be cured by medicine.

Hello, There are various options for keloids from silicone gel creams, intralesional steroid, 5Fu Botox, Cryo surgery etc. First you can start with intra lesional steroid injection once in 3 wks you may need 4-6 sessions for it to become flat. What you need to understand is there is no cure it only control. Once its flat with treatment you have to observe and repeat treatment when it starts to come back. Consult a dermatologist.
