What Cosmetics Can Be Use to Cover a Keloid?

Do to a keloid that formed 4 inches in my chest. I no longer can wear v-neck or low-cut top dresses. Too embarrassing! I hate shopping, because I have to be selective in my chioces, which means I end up with a turtle-neck,crew top or halter style top. I tried the injections, but they were so painful I couldn't bear it anymore. If I could just find a thick cover cream to blend in with my caramel skin,I would try a low cut top. Any suggestions? Help! Desperate!

Dermojet for keloid treatments

I do not know of any great products to cover up keloids but it sounds like my colleague has recommended a promising product. The trouble with covering up keloids is that their prominent nature can cast subtle shadows that reveal their presence even if the tissue's color is camouflaged. Another treatment option is the dermojet which is offers needle-less injection for keloid treatment.

I recommend Dermablend brand. You can goggle them to see where they are sold. Other companies make good cover make ups. Keep searching.

You should go back to the injections I have over 50 on my shoulders that i get injected every month. I know its painful but it really helps to flatten them and over time the color will fade. You just got to suck it up you dont got it that bad.
