Take it from someone who has dealt with keloids for the last 15 years, regardless of how many differing treatment options you have undertaken without success, there is a solution available to reduce the unsightly appearance of the scarring.
In the beginning I only had a handful of keloid scars across my chest and arms that spawned as a result of a cooking accident that left me with significant burns that required skin grafting. Despite appearing as a series of insignificant scars, over time they grew to be larger than the French fries that caused the kitchen fire and burning in the first place.
KELOIDS EXPLAINED
For those of you who are unaware, keloids are thick, itchy clusters of scar tissue that generally grow beyond the edges of a wound. They are sometimes very nodular in nature, and they are often darker in color than the surrounding skin. As was the case with me, keloid scars have a tendency to reoccur, sometimes requiring repeated treatment. Perhaps this is the reason I have first hand experience with all the following treatment options.
KELOID TREATMENT AND PREVENTION
One of the first things you should do in order to prevent keloids is to ascertain whether you are prone to such scarring. If this situation applies to you it may be wise to avoid any elective skin surgery and piercings. Unfortunately for me and my lovely mocha skin, keloids are most frequent in people with dark skin tones, although they can occur in 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 spoken with people with similar experiences after undertaking various laser treatments, radiation, freezing (cryotherapy), and other forms of surgical removal.
However, what I have found to be extremely effective is the daily application of a natural scar removal cream. This to date 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. Moreover, 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.
