I have used a mole removal cream and ran out of healing ointment, now many of the areas turned into keloid scar spots, some are flat, some are bumpy, most are pinkish red and round. The last time I have applied the cream was by the end of this summer. I would like to know if there is any other natural treatments or silicone gel treatment packs that work the best and overall if there is any way possible to at least reduce the redness of the keloid scar spots? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Answer: Hidef Protocols for Scar Revision Keloid scars are characterized by their growth potential and increased degree of inflammation within the skin. Unlike non-inflamed scars, keloids have the potential for growth beyond the original footprint of injury. Our office specializes in the management of keloids, whether single or multiple, using a combination platform that includes lasers, RF, scar modulation, Parke-Davis Scar Protocols, and injection therapy. Some keloids will require surgical intervention as an initial step for treatment.

Answer: Scar Thank you for the post. Never use a mole removal cream without direct supervision of a dermatologist. I am concerned that you did not have a comprehensive diagnosis of the lesion prior to your home treatment. Please see a board certified dermatologist. Once a diagnosis is made, redness can be removed with a vascular laser. Keloid can be treated with injection treatments, silicone, vascular laser and resurfacing laser.

Answer: Keloid Treatments Keloid formation can be very frustrating, and you are not alone.Steroid injections with 5fu will help. Biocorneum during the initial healing. Microneedling with prp may help.Re excision for large poorly healed scars is a last ditch effort, but this not recommended because the scar can come back bigger.Best. Dr Brecht Seattle, Wa
