In what way can you make a c-section scar look better if you have keloid skin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Steroid injections: Keloids can sometimes respond to being injected with steroids. The sooner they are injected the better chance there is to reverse the keloid process. Otherwise, surgical revision is the only other option.
