Stepwise to keloids: The approach to keloids is nearly the same no matter where they occur: pressure, silicone sheeting, steroid injections, posssible 5 fu injections, possible intralesional excision, possible radiation therapy as well emerging or investigational immunotherapy treatments.

Is it a keloid: Before any recommendations, you have to determine whether the scar is a keloid or a hypertrophic scar. Keloids are usually congenital and more common in the asian and afro-american races. I would see your doctor and then appropriate treatment can be recommended.
