Best treatment for old keloid with discoloration?
I am tired of my keloid, I have it since I was 7 years old. I have tried almost every single Keloid removal option doctors recommend: from steroid injections, dressings, and more and none of them have worked. They make the keloid flat for a while but after that it gets bigger and uglier. I also have a dark coloration around the keloid. I have used creams recommended by dermatologist and it didn't work. What else can I do? The keloid is located on my shoulder. Thank you for your answers.
