Keloids extend beyond the boundaries of the original wound and can be itchy, tender, or painful. They are most found on the chest, shoulders, earlobes, and back.
Treatments for Keloids
Cryotherapy: Cryotherapy involves freezing the keloid with liquid nitrogen. This treatment can help reduce the size of the keloid and relieve symptoms, but it may require multiple sessions and can be painful.
Laser Therapy: Laser therapy, specifically pulsed dye lasers and fractional lasers, can be effective in flattening and lightening the color of keloids. The laser targets blood vessels in the scar tissue and encourages collagen remodeling.
