Is cryotherapy the best treatment for keloids? (Photo)

siobhan.88
I have a keloid from a burn .A piece of hot coal fell on me 4 years ago. I have a second on from a csection I had in Dec 2015. The doctor even gave me a steroid shot to prevent scarring,but no luck with that. I read so many stories about different procedures for keloid removal that later grow back. In the near future I'm looking to get a breast lift/implants & liposuction only if I can have a successful keloid removal .First I would like to remove my scars before they get bigger.
