How to Make Keloids from Shingles Less Visible?

Question

After a bout with shingles, I developed noticeable keloid scarring where the blisters occurred. How can I at least change the appearance of my scars so that they look less like a bunch of warts and at least like a series of scars?

Keloid scars commonly occur from chicken pox scars or other viral dermatologic conditions such as shingles. Management should begin early in the process, but in some cases, our office consults on patients late in the process. In these situations, treatment with TAC, surgery, scar revision, and topical application of silicone strips.
