A member asked:
Please tell me, could i use hydro cortisone on a keloid?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: The most effective way of controlling a keloid if one is to use a steroid is by intralesional injection. The entire lesion must be infiltrated or portions will remain it is also best to use a steroid such as kenalog (triamcinolone) which does not get rapidly reabsorbed.
