Keloid reoccur after injections ?

2020-04-19 18:24:52
I read in some cases keloids can reoccur and grow aggressively after steroid injections. What are the chances of reoccurring. What is better cryotherapy or injections? Attached picture is a 8 year old kelod. About 5 cm wide .3-4 mm raised on chest.
