Answer: Is keloid scar injection painful? As stated, it really depends on how firm the scar is. Typically scar management will require a series of injections. The first injection tends to be the most difficult because the scar is the most dense with the intial treatment. It softens almost immediately and subsequent injections tend to be less painful. Your physician may mix the steroid with anesthetic as well or use a topical anesthetic but the latter is of little benefit.

Answer: Less discomfort with local anaesthesia Kenolog could be diluted with local anaethesia which makes it less irritant when injected. An intra-keloid injection is key in making sure the drug is delivered in the correct location. All the best.

Answer: Steroid injections for keloids If the keloid is very thick, the first few times they are injected, it can be painful. I usually mix the steroids with some local anesthetic to ease the discomfort.
