Hi. Greetings. Keloids need to be managed by intra lesional injection treatment which in my experience is the best long term therapy for keloids. You may need four to six sessions depending on thickness of the keloid. Discuss the same with your dermatologist. Hope this helps. Dr Govind S Mittal. Bangalore
