No permanent cure: Good treatents are available but unfortunately there isn't a permanent cure for keloids. They are a result of abnormal scar healing caused by trauma or injury to the skin. Common causes are surgery, cuts, ear piercings, shaving, but can also result from acne breakouts and insect bites. Avpid itching, rubbing, scratching, or anything that can cause irritation of the keloid which makes it worse.

Keloid Treatment: First, try to avoid new ones. They result from damage to skin. Avoid cutting, tattooing, scratching and piercing. Next, see a doctor because there are no home remedies. They can shrink keloids with steroid shots, surgery and radiation. Some doctors have had success using laser. Rarely, in severe cases they still come back. Good luck!
