A member asked:
Is it ok to continue my weekly facial steaming after i've had cortisteroid injections for keloids injected into my face?? since steaming opens pores, will it cause the injection to be less effective??

Keloids are mature scar tissue, and steroids may not arrest the growth or decrease existing size of your keloids. Plastic surgery may remove the keloids, but reformation of a scar may also occur. Steam treatments will not affect the injected steroids.
