Itching and Painful Keloids - Treatment?

Fayetteville1826
I have keloids on my back, chest and cheek. They all between 5 and 10years old they are large and raised.And are still continuing to get larger. They are very painful and itch. I have had them excised, injected with kenalog and had radiation therapy.And new scars appear daily. Is there some type of treatment that would stop new keloids from appearing? Is there something that can be rubbed on the existing keloids to help with itching and pain?
