Hi......
emm....what is GP?
thanks so much for your response.....my keyloid scar was located on my shoulders...
and i have two keyloid...one of it is in my shoulder and one is near in my shoulder...thats one is smaller....so because this two scar in different place then i can only wear t-shirt that cover my keyloid....so forever i cannot wear other cloth.....haiiii...so sad thinking of this....
i already get steriod injection for 4 month....thts mean 4 times.......yeah ...its inject directly into hard area of my keyloid scar...its hurt.....
but after i get this injection my doctor takes picture of my keloid scar and its really shows the effects.... and i also see my keyloid scar more flatten.....
mybe u should try to get steriod injection....
wish you good luck on your treatment.....!!

Hi,

I have a keliods myself, behind my ears that came up after i had them pierced, for me its hard to except the fact im going to have scares, but it depends on the area that is effected if the keloid is in a certain area it can be easy to hide, maybe try and buy different clothing to avoid exposier to the keloid?

Tomorrow im going to the doctors to see if it is possible for me to get steriod injections as they have a high success rate of reducing the size of the keliod and colour (example; im pale white but the keliod looks red, hopefully through the treatment it will match my skin tone)

Even after this treatment you will be left with scars, but they will appear much flatter and match your skin tone, a hell of allot more than the keloids do.

Wish you the best of luck with this, but firstly go and see your GP and have a chat.

Hello,
There are several treatment options available for the keloid scar treatment like mederma (allium cepa), natural treatments like mucin from the snail helix, moist wound dressings made of silicone gel which decreases the prominence of keloid scar over sometime, steroid injections, compression bandages, cryosurgery, and radiation & laser therapy. Surgery can also be done but the recurrence rate is up to 50% and the recurrent scar which develops is actually much bigger in size. Remember that no treatment is 100% effective.
