How can i permanently eliminate my keloid?
4 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
May be surgery: Keloids can be excised, however, there is a risk for the new scar becoming keloid. Steroid injection may be employed. It would be prudent to consult a plastic surgeon.

Steroids and : Surgery. I use steroid injections before during and after surgery also use biocorneum topical scar cream.

You may not: There are multiple treatments for keloid which means there is no one "good treatment". Your plastic surgeon can help you deal with this.
