A member asked:
Please recommend how to treat my keloid?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lots of options: The treatment options vary depending upon size, location and prior treatments tried. Options range from injection therapy designed to help dissolve the excessive scar tissue, to excision with use of radiation treatments post-operatively. You should get the opinion of a plastic surgeon who will be able to narrow down your choices.
