How to Avoid Keloids

The development of keloids for the first time is often not too disconcerting. The problem is, after a few years they become extremely unsightly to the point that it can erode the confidence of even the most non-body conscious woman, as was the case with me up until my early thirties.

So what can we do to change this, well there are a multitude of treatment options available some with greater success rates than others. I myself have undertaken a few unsuccessful treatment routes and for this reason I hope to shed light on a relatively unknown subject matter, and assist in identifying the best treatment plan for you.

WHAT ARE KELOIDS

To the uninitiated, keloids are thick, itchy clusters of scar tissue that generally grow beyond the edges of a wound. They frequently posses a nodular shape, and they are often darker in color than the surrounding skin. In addition, keloid scars have a fondness for reappearing, sometimes requiring repeated treatment. Perhaps this is the reason I have first hand experience with all the following treatment options.

KELOID TREATMENT PLANS

A primary tool in the prevention of keloids is to ascertain whether you are prone to such scarring. If you are one of these people it is highly recommended avoid any elective skin surgery and piercings. Unfortunately for me and my lovely mocha skin, keloids are most prevelant in people with dark skin tones, although they can appear on people with fair skin too.

By the time I turned 32 I could no longer stand the sight and irritation of my keloid scars so following my doctor's advice I undertook a series of corticosteroid injections. To my horror these nasty scars proved too resilient and simply reoccurred once I stopped receiving the injections. I have also heard similar stories from people who have undergone various laser treatments, radiation, freezing (cryotherapy), and other forms of surgical removal.

However, the solution that has completely worked for me is the daily application of a natural scar removal cream. Up until this point in time the cream has been the only solution that has both reduced the appearance and size of the scarring, as well as curbing the introduction of new keloid scars. Furthermore, the cream thankfully removed the discomforting and incessant itching that accompanies keloids.

So for those of you who have undergone various keloid treatment solutions without success I personally recommend BIOSKINCARE. This 100% natural scar cream contains enzymes that dissolves scar tissue while assisting in the body in rebuilding new collagen and improving the elasticity of the skin. There is no way I would ever think of any other keloid scar reduction solution.
