Massage, steroids: Massage is clinically proven to help break down scar tissue, so massage the scar for 15 minutes every night. In my practice, I also use monthly steroid injections into the scar to help to soften it.

Keloids are complex: Keloids are complex and difficult to predict and excision could make them worse. Treatment may vary from pressure, massage, silicone, steroid injection, radiation, and last surgery. The Graston techniques has gained popularity. Some now advocate the use of 5FU (fluorouracil) + steroid injections
