Keloid - need injections. Or tablets?

Keloids are abnormal growths of scar tissue that develop beyond the boundaries of an original wound or injury. They can vary in size, shape, and color, often appearing as raised, shiny, or rubbery bumps on the skin. Keloids are more common in areas of the body with high tension, such as the chest, shoulders, earlobes, and upper back. The exact cause of keloids is not fully understood, but they are believed to result from an overproduction of collagen during the wound healing process. Factors that may contribute to keloid formation include genetics, skin trauma, inflammation, and hormonal changes. People with darker skin tones are more prone to keloids, and they often have a genetic predisposition to developing them. Keloids can be symptomatic, causing itching, pain, tenderness, or a burning sensation. They can also be emotionally distressing due to their appearance and may affect self-esteem and quality of life. Treatment options for keloids include: 1. Steroid injections: Corticosteroids are injected directly into the keloid to reduce inflammation and shrink its size. 2. Silicone gel or sheets: Applying silicone gel or sheets to the keloid can help flatten and soften the scar over time. 3. Cryotherapy: Freezing the keloid with liquid nitrogen can reduce its size and flatten its appearance. 4. Laser therapy: Certain types of lasers can help reduce the redness and thickness of keloids. 5. Surgical removal: Surgical excision may be performed to remove the keloid, but there is a risk of recurrence, and additional treatments may be needed to prevent regrowth. It's important for individuals with keloids to consult with a dermatologist or plastic surgeon to determine the most appropriate treatment plan based on the size, location, and symptoms of the keloid. Treatment may require a combination of therapies and ongoing management to achieve the best results and minimize the risk of recurrence.

Keloids can be treated with creams, intralesional injection and cryotherapy or the combination of all these modalities.
