A member asked:

What is alternative to cordran tape for keloids?

2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Injections of low dose cortisone in to the keloid periodically. Initially these intralesional injections might be a bit painful. the beauty of cordran tape is that it is not painful and can work quite well in small early lesions.
