Question 3

Keloid looking on the head of my penis for a week. doesn't hurt or itch even if i touch it. really worried about it. what could this be?

Accepted Answer

This could be several possible disorders. The first that comes to mind would be a wart. A chancre is also a possibility, although statistically much less likely. A visit with a physician would be extremely helpful. Most possibilities would not be cancer, but this is a distant possibility.

Question 4

What is the best way to treat keloids on my head?

Accepted Answer

Keloids can be problematic, particularly if enlarging, are painful or itch, or ulcerated and bleed. For small ones silicone sheeting or gels may help decrease redness and height, but there is very little you can do on your own. Treatment typically requires steroid injections, excision with repair, or a combination of both.

Question 5

Fibrosis/keloid scar on my head. if i have it removed will my hair grow back through the scar? will the scar be long and thin or round like keloid

Accepted Answer

After scar  or keloid removal in the scalp it is unusual for the hair to grow back through the new scar. It is even possible that you could lose some hair around the new scar depending on how large the original keloid was. Keloids are somewhat prone to regrow so you could also need some cortisone shots around the new scar or even other treatments to help minimize the chance of recurrence.

Question 6

Are keloids hereditary?

Folks of African descent tend to form keloids more readily than other folks, but it's famously unpredictable. Why one individual gets them and another doesn't, and why one injury forms keloids and the next doesn't are minor mysteries of medicine.

Question 7

What are the symptoms of keloids?

Accepted Answer

Keloids can be considered to be "scars that don't know when to stop." a keloid, sometimes referred to as a keloid scar, is a tough heaped-up scar that rises quite abruptly above the rest of the skin. It usually has a smooth top and a pink or purple color. Keloids are irregularly shaped and tend to enlarge progressively. Unlike scars, keloids do not subside over time.

Question 9

Which products really work for keloids?

Accepted Answer

I have seen keloids shrink and flatten with carboxytherapy.  Other effective methods may include steroid injections, or surgery.  The key is to stop the unresolved inflammatory source.  This most commonly may be the effects of your immune system in trying to wall off sebaceous or oil secretions from your hair follicles.

Question 10

Why are keloids itchy?

Accepted Answer

Itching in a keloid can be due to excessive stretching of the skin , especially when the keloid is growing  and also due to the rubbing  of  a large  keloid against clothing . it  helps to  keep the skin moist  to   prevent scabbing . It is also important to keep the injured skin clean.
