Does steroids help the keloids disappear

2020-05-11 15:52:40
Hi, I consulted a doctor and have keloids on my shoulder. Got injection shots as she recommended me not to go for a surgery or anything as it leaves white marks and never 100% curable. She also highlighted that steroids are also not 100% helpful and these will come back which is what happened to me. What's the cure for this. What should I do to get rid of it permanently.

Keloids always recur. Have to treat regularly. No surgery should be done

Bringing keloid to the level of skin is what you can expect maximum. Usually possible. Now a combination injection is advisable instead of steroid injection.kindly share a pic. Consult me on practo pro now for guidance and treatment.
