Keloid Questions

Dear
Keloids are overgrowing scars that do not heal. If it is painful, ingrowing and spreading; you had better visit an oncologist to investigate further. A skin doctor may not help.

No need to lose self esteem. It's a problem faced by many. Be confident. U have to go by scientific Ayurveda treatment. This is the only hope. Dietary changes, gradual introduction of various procedures will help you a lot. U can't expect response before few months, that's clear. If you send close image of keloid and scars, I may assess better. Write history of the problem too.

Excision of the keloid followed by radio theraphy for the border of the excised wound is the management for symtematic keloid.

Plastic surgery is the only permanent solution. Other cheaper options are steroid injections in the keloid and cryotherapy.

Hello lybrate-user, It will be really helpful if you can send me a picture of the concerned lesion. Keloid can be diagnosed only by looking at it.

Another term used for scars is Cicatrices. The cause behind scarring is injury to skin, including accidental traumatic injuries or surgical cuts, burns, vaccination site, acne, chicken pox, piercing of ear lobes. Keloids can be effectively treated with Homeopathic remedies.

Take Psorinum 200 / 3 dose one day onl from next day take Arsenic alb 200 / & RhusTox 200 /two times a day daily each.

Don't at all get them operated ever. They could increase further. Just leave them alone or use an anti scar cream.

Hi lybrate-user. Keloids are usually the result of burns or occur after some form of injury. Treatment comprises of intralesional steroid injection and surgical removal if required. Other metods depend on location of the keloid which can be decided after consultation with a plastic surgeon.

If they r itchy, means the keloid is in active stage. Steroid injections works fastest in softening the keloids and limiting its growth.
Other than that you can apply MOMATE cream at night
HEXILAC - SILICON /VANIZA / OPEXA GEL twice or thrice a day and apply a small plastic sheet on top so tht the absorption of medicine is more from skin than on clothes.
