What procedure is recommended for keloid removal and nipple split after nipple piercing? (Photo)

Steroid injections would be tried first. If good results, then laser treatments can be done. If minimal or no results, the keloid could be excised and followed with 3-5 radiation treatments. It would be best to be finished with breast feeding before excision or radiation treatments. You still should be able to breast feed with steroid and laser treatments if you can breast feed now. The radiation would be a low risk since it is just a few treatments.

Keloid scars are characterized by their growth potential and increased degree of inflammation within the skin. Unlike non-inflamed scars, keloids have the potential for growth beyond the original footprint of injury. Our office specializes in the management of keloids, whether single or multiple, using a combination platform that includes lasers, RF, scar modulation, Parke-Davis Scar Protocols, and injection therapy. Some keloids will require surgical intervention as an initial step for treatment.
