Keloid:- Not to be removed surgically as chances of recurrence are there. An injection to be given inside the lesion over chest once in 3 weeks ( Injection Kenacort 40mg/ml) Once in 3 weeks. To be given 6-8 times depending upon thickness. Contractubex gel to be applied twice daily at home for 2-3 months. Additional treatment may involve use of Cryotherapy (freezing technique)to shrink the lesion. These can be done by a dermatologist near you.
