I have had 2 c-sections, both formed painful keloid scars. During my second c-section the doctor tried several different techniques to prevent new formation, but it didn't work. What are my treatment options? I am a very active distance runner, and the scar is large enough that it chaifs during long runs and is very painful. I have also had several moles removed from my back with similar, yet less painful results. Is there anything a doctor could do in furture surgeries to prevent this?
