Can i use wart remover for a keloid?

It may make it worse: Keloids are not warts. Anything that breaks or inflames the skin can make a keloid worse.

NO.: Most wart removers cause tissue damage. In all probability, they would worsen a keloid. If you have a keloid that requires treatment, see a dermatologist or plastic surgeon. Don't mess around with it yourself.

No: Keloids are complex problems. Using topical wart therapy has a greater chance of making it worse rather than better.
