A member asked:
Please help docs! is solumedrol (methylprednisolone) effective as a treatment for keloids?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Steroids help: Steroid injections to the keloid have been shown to help shrink and flatten the keloid. We typically use kenalog (triamcinolone) but 5-fu works as well.
