Q: Keloid treatments to ensure they never reoccur?
A:
Formation of keloids are infuenced by many factors, some has to do with surgical techniques and site. But genetic factors are also very important and in that respect recurrence cannot be entirely eliminated or predicted. There are many treatments (surgical excision, intralesional injections, abrasive techniques, various lasers and, yes, low dose external radiation) that is used today and depending on location and size treatement is customized.
