Scar Removal: Q&A
Ask a QuestionHow to Flatten Keloid Scars from Biopsy Incision?
I have a Keloid from me having a biopsy. I was wondering if you have any recommendations as to how it can be flattened out instead of being on top of my skin or reduce the appearance of it?

Reducing and treating keloid scars from mole removal or biopsy
Great question. Sometimes keloids can occur as a result of a surgical procedure. I would recommend that you begin early treatment with pulsed dye laser, IIT, and pressure treatment to reduce the keloid scar and reduce recurrence of the scar.

Scar from a biopsy
I assume the biopsy was necessary to find out what was going on and be happy that you got some answers. The scar should respond nicely to an injection or two. You can find a dermatologist who would be more than happy to help you get rid of this.

Keloid at biopsy site
If you have a true keloid froma biopsy site, and it is small, then I would start off only using intralesional injection of steroids to see how it responds.

Intralesional corticosteroids
Typically we have a hypertrophic scar which is confined to the area of the surgical site rather than a keloid which is large and extends beyond the area of the surgical scar. The normal treatment for the hypertrophic scar is intralesional corticosteroids sometimes with 5 flurouracil or the pulse-dye laser.
