Keloid scars are raised, thickened areas of skin that develop due to an overproduction of collagen during the healing process. Commonly occurring after injuries, surgeries, or acne, these scars can be itchy, painful, or simply a cosmetic concern. Treatment options vary depending on the severity and location of the keloid.
Dermatological approaches include corticosteroid injections to reduce inflammation and flatten the scar, silicone gel sheets to improve texture, and cryotherapy to freeze and shrink keloids. For more persistent cases, laser therapy or surgical excision may be recommended.
Cosmetological interventions, such as chemical peels and microdermabrasion, can enhance skin appearance and texture. It's essential to consult a dermatologist for a tailored treatment plan, as individual responses to therapies can vary significantly. Early intervention often yields the best results, minimizing the keloid's prominence and discomfort.
