Keloid:-
Not to be removed surgically as changes of recurrence are there.
An injection to be given inside the lesion over chest once in 3 weeks(Injection Kenacort 40mg/ml) once in 3 weeks.
To be given 6-8 times depending upon thickness.
Contractubex gel to be applied twice daily at home for 2-3 month.
Additional treatment treatment may involves use of cryotherapy (freezing technology) to shrink the lesion.
These can be done by a dermatologist near you.
