TREATMENT FOR KELOID SCARS IN CHEADLE, MANCHESTER

When a wound heals, it leaves a scar. Keloid scars are thick raised scars which have become lumpy, raised and larger than the original wound. Keloids are commonly seen on earlobes, chest, shoulders and back. They can be resistant to treatments and may not completely resolve. They can develop after very minor skin damage, such as an acne spot, chicken pox scar, burn or piercing.

Keloid scars can last for years and are not a cause for concern but can cause pain, itching, tenderness or a burning feeling. People often want keloid scars removed for cosmetic purposes. They are usually shiny, hairless and feel hard or rubbery. They are more prevalent in those with darker skin and aged between 10-30.

keloid Removal Options

The two best treatments for keloid scars are steroid injection and laser treatment. This technique serves to flatten the scars and improve the discomfort & itching which can be associated with keloid scars. The redness associated with these scars can improve with pulsed dye laser treatment, which works best in combination with steroid injections. Silicone gels or sheets are only useful in early stages of scarring but don’t usually help established keloid scars.

Keloid scars are not medically dangerous, but they can be aesthetically bothersome and cause discomfort or itchiness. In some cases, keloids may restrict movement if they are located near a joint. However, keloids do not pose any serious health risks.

It is difficult to prevent keloid scars completely, but you can reduce the risk by avoiding unnecessary skin injuries, such as piercings or tattoos. Proper wound care and avoiding tension on the wound during the healing process may also help minimize the formation of keloids.
