Hi thanks for asking question in Chat Doctor. There are various options available for treatment of keloid. First treatment modality is intraluminal corticosteroid injection that is given once every 4 week. It is less painful and safe. Laser treatment also gaining popularity. But it is costly and several sessions needed for its removal. Freezing the keloid (cryotherapy)is helpful in removal of it, but it will lead to some time dark pigmented scar that look cosmetic ugly. Interfeone injection also can be given. Some surgeon using fluorouracil and steroid injection together to be injected. Silicone sheets also can be available, but it has variable result. Besides this main treatment modality some home base therapy also available like applying baking soda paste made with HY Chat Doctor. Lemon juice extract, aloe vera can be applied over it. Rose water. Honey and lavender oil local application also can be applied. I hope I have provided you complete list regarding treatment modality.thanks.
