Creams for Keloid Removal?
asked 3 years ago by isk8 in Texas
Latest answer by Arnold R. Oppenheim, MD
Question viewed 637 times
Tags: keloid scar
I cut my hair and ended up having a pimple-size bump on the back of my head. It bleeds and even sometimes pus came out. At first I ignored it, thinking it will go away. But now there's even more and have gotten a little bigger. I thought it could be keloids; if so how, do I prevent them and make them go away? Is there a keloid removal cream or something I can put it. I tried to using rubbing alcohol and even benzoyl peroxide cream but nothing works. Can someone please help me out? Thanks.

See A Dermatologist
My recommendation would be to see a dermatogogist rather than self diagnose. From your description I think you might have a folliculitis. If you have a tendency to acne keloidalis nuchae then your condition will certainly get worse without treatment. Benzoyl Peroxide is somewhat helpful but there is no such thing as a keloid cream ( even if you find it advertisised on the internet..take it from me there is no such effective thing aside from a topical antibiotic and BP)
It is possible...
