Does keliod surgery hurt, and how long it takes to heal after surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You mean Keloid?Hurt: It does not hurt more than any other surgery.Most of the time it is done under local anesthesia.I usually use kenalog, (triamcinolone) a slow acting local steroid to preventnt the keloid recurring.That slows down the wound healing somewhat.
