Since you have mentioned that you are suffering from a killer ID
treatments may include:
Steroid injections
Surgery: A surgery is done to cut the keloid out. Sometimes, the scar can grow back.
Laser treatments, which help to flatten the skin and make the scars appear less red
Applying silicone gel or sheeting for several months
Applying steroid-impregnated tape for 12 hours a day
Cryotherapy, or when the keloid scars are frozen to prevent them from growing
Wearing pressure earrings, which are a special type of earring that helps to reduce the keloid scars in your earlobes
Interferon injections: Interferon is a protein produced by the body to help fight viruses. Interferon injections have been shown to help decrease the size of keloid scars.
Fluorouracil and bleomycin injections: Fluorouracil and bleomycin are anti-cancer agents that can be used to treat keloid scars.
Radiation treatment
All the treatment depends upon the number and size and also the location of the keloid in the body hence kindly consult me with a picture of the keloid...
