Keloid Scar treatments

Keloid scars are raised overgrowths of scar tissue that extend beyond the original wound or injury. They can be itchy, painful, and may continue to grow over time. Treating keloid scars can be challenging, and various approaches are used to manage and reduce their appearance. It's important to note that not all treatments may be effective for everyone, and results can vary. Here are some common keloid scar treatment options.

Keloid Scar steps

  • Steroid Injections
  • Cryotherapy
  • Laser Therapy
  • Pressure Dressings or Silicone Gel Pads

Surgical removal of a keloid is an option, but caution is needed as surgery can sometimes trigger the formation of a new keloid. It is often combined with other treatments, such as steroid injections or silicone sheeting, to minimize the risk of recurrence.

Radiation therapy is sometimes used after surgical excision to reduce the likelihood of keloid recurrence. However, this approach is not always recommended due to potential side effects.

Interferon is a medication that can be injected into the keloid to reduce collagen production. It is not a first-line treatment and is often considered when other methods have failed.


Certain topical treatments, such as imiquimod cream, have been used to reduce the size and thickness of keloids. However, their effectiveness can vary.

Combining different treatment modalities may enhance their effectiveness. For example, surgical excision followed by steroid injections and pressure dressings.

Prevention is crucial, especially for individuals with a history of keloid formation. Techniques such as applying silicone sheets to wounds after surgery, laser therapy, or steroid injections can be used to prevent keloid formation.

Before undergoing a Pumpkin Enzyme Peel or any chemical exfoliation treatment, it's advisable to consult with a skincare professional or dermatologist to determine the suitability for your skin type and to discuss potential risks and benefits.
