Keloid Treatment
I have got chicken pox 15 years ago and a scar in the left side of the abdomen has not healed since then. A doctor in our family has told 5 months ago that it has developed into a keloid. He has advised to use Scarend silicone gel for 2 months and see. However It's been around 4 days since I have been using it regularly considering the discomfort in the form of itching and mild burning sensation. It as such poses no problem except itching and mild burning sensation upon contact with clothing or other objects. Zoomed image is attached. It is around 7.5mm diameter and 4.5mm height. Please suggest Treatments for management.
