A member asked:
Is it possible for you to self inject a keloid scar?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No.: The only injection that has been somewhat helpful for keloid scars is a steroid, which is only available by prescription. Remember, the doctor who treats him/herself has an idiot for a patient! see a dermatologist or plastic surgeon to evaluate your options.
