Corticosteroid injections: These injections help shrink the scar, reduce inflammation, and alleviate itching and tenderness. They are often administered in a series of treatments every few weeks.
Silicone sheets or gels: Applying silicone dressings, gels, or patches to the keloid can help flatten it and reduce redness. These are often used after other treatments or to prevent recurrence.
Cryotherapy: This involves freezing the keloid with liquid nitrogen to shrink it. It is often combined with steroid injections for better results, especially for smaller keloids.
Laser therapy: Lasers use high-energy light to break down excess collagen, flatten the scar, and lighten its color. This is often done in a series of sessions.
Pressure therapy: This method uses pressure to reduce blood flow to the scar and prevent regrowth. It can involve compression garments or devices, and is often used after surgery.
Surgical excision: A doctor can surgically remove a large or persistent keloid. Because keloids tend to recur after surgery, this is often followed by other treatments like radiation or pressure therapy.
Radiation therapy: Low-dose radiation can be used after surgical removal to prevent the keloid from coming back.
