What is the fastest home remedy when trying to remove keloids?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No easy fix: There are no easy solutions and certainly no fast ones. Keloids are an exceptionally difficult problem.

Home-NO; Fast-NO!!: Keloids are scars that exceed the normal wound boundaries, and are genetic in origin, but can be worsened by inflammation, infection, and vary by location. Anything you do to try to home-remove keloids will only make a larger, worse keloid. Honest! just say no, regardless how "scientific" or "wonderfully-effective" the ads make it seem! since nothing home-remedy works, for sure nothing works fast!
