“Tried steroid injections and surgery but keloid still grows back”
Scar removal: NOT worth it
Cost: $1,500
Pain: Uncomfortable
Pain: Uncomfortable
Scar removal satisfaction: Poor
I do not recommend my Scar removal provider: Name not provided
Why: he made me believe he could remove without it returning by stretching the skin and stitching inward and it obviously didnt work because it came back
im a light skinned african american with a keloid on the side of my face that resulted from chicken pox as a child and i have tried the injections of steriod,the trips,and i recently had surgery to have it removed and it is growing back.it is painful when it gets irritated and it itches at times and it is very noticeable due to my skin color.
what can i do to make it at least a little less noticeable and to ease the swelling,pain,and itching when it get irritated? is there a way to get rid of the keloid?

Try using vinegar as a toner or soak it's great for keloids and even itching,,, over time it will help...Aldara can help to but you need to see your doc and ask for a prescription..

Tazorac has anti keratolic effects that Retina A doesn't share...Not only will it improve your skin overall it will help the scar at a min prevent it from getting larger..
