What Cosmetics Can Be Use to Cover a Keloid?

colormeloveAug 28, 2010
Do to a keloid that formed 4 inches in my chest. I no longer can wear v-neck or low-cut top dresses. Too embarrassing! I hate shopping, because I have to be selective in my chioces, which means I end up with a turtle-neck,crew top or halter style top. I tried the injections, but they were so painful I couldn't bear it anymore. If I could just find a thick cover cream to blend in with my caramel skin,I would try a low cut top. Any suggestions? Help! Desperate!

It sound like you have suffered a burn injury.  The area is still very young.  It will take up to a year or so the pigmentation to possibly improve.  I would recommend sunscreen to prevent further darkening of the area. Laser therapy may improve the area once the area is very...

The scar tissue formed by the piercing is permanent, but may improve over time. The tunnel created by the piercing and healed around the post of the piercing is now sealed, so the hole will only very slowly close up if at all. You may always be able to see the top of the hole, but may find over...
