Hello, i would like to know if there is any cream or new treatment to reduce scars. I had a keloid in my shoulder due to an inyection that git infected when i was little. The scar was the size of a penny, but me unexperienced, i went to a doctor who did laser treatment on my scar and ended up uglier and huge! Then i had a surgery, inyections of kenalog and steroids, why helped with flattening the scar, but it was still red and sensitive. I went to see a doctor in beverly hills, who treated the area with a so called "laser beam and blue light" i honestly did not see any difference. He charged me for three treatments that were a lot of money. I havent been able to wear a sleveless dress, shirt or anything, because i feel very uncomfortable with my scar. It has been at least 15 years that i do not wear cute tops or dresses. I hate summers because i always have to cover up with something. Is there any treatment out there? Cream or something less invasive? Thanks in advance

So the radiation was only one time? I'm scared because of its side effects

I have extensive experience in keloid scars and scar revision and feel that you have options that would improve the texture and visibility of these scars. Some treatments are inexpensive and performed at home. Good luck.

Dr. Simon Ourian is NOT a plastic surgeon, only a high-priced dermatologist.

Try microneedling. You can find a permanent artist in your area that performs treatment.

Hello, my scar still looks the same, i cannot believe i spent so much money in that, and even worse, with a doctor that did not care and who hardly ever talked to me during my visits. Just overpriced, not worth it and i wont ever recomend him again.

California girl, Have you tried dermarolling? FYI, burned patients that get dermarolling treatments have had significant results in the skin texture, evenness, color and collagen production of their skin. I use it to treat my pitted acne scars and it's improving. I have a long way still. Give it a try, buy youself a quality dermaroller, follow the instructions; you got nothing to loose.
