Keloids are
treatable; the latest Treatment for Keloid is
Interalesional Cryo with liquid nitrogen. Keloids are
difficult to treat but we get significantly good results with Cryo. Generally 3
sessions are needed at the interval of 3 weeks, depending upon the
case, it is better you should consult an experienced
dermatologist and let the doctor decide what kind of treatment is required for
your kind of scar and how old it is.
What is the
proper way to avoid hypertrophic scar and Keloid formation??
If your scar
is new then its better avoid sun exposure. Apply good amount of sun block
liberally. Sun block should be repeated every three hourly so that the tissue
regeneration is not affected. If you don’t protect your skin then you can feel
the colour changes in appearance of the skin.
Avoid tight
clothes as much as you can if they are rubbing your scarred skin. Scar tissue
is more sensitive so it can get irritated
If your scar
is near bones like elbow, shin and ankle then protect and be careful not to
injure the scar tissue again
Scarred skin
needs more attention and care so never avoid them. Take proper care of the skin
which is scared.
One can use
camouflaging agents to cover the scars on face, neck by asking your
dermatologist. Camouflaging agents or medical concellors are sweat proof and
wash proof.
