I m having problem of lumps that many doctors have advised as Keloid. They say that there is no treatment for this and only way forward is to stop the growth. However, even after treatment for more than a year my keloid has not gone anywhere. Kindly advise.

keloidal tendency means any time you get hurt it heals by forming a keloid. and there is no treatment as such.in order to flatten it you can go ahead with injection(ils) sessions. avoid picking at any wound or acne that you might have as there are chances it may form a keloid.
