good morning I have 2 large keloids on my chest . when I started to take steroid injections , small keloids started to grow around the larger keloids and also on the shoulders sir/mam is it because of the injection or there is another reason behind it ?
HIA keloid is an abnormal & excessive proliferation of scar tissue that forms at the site of any skin injury like after surgery or trauma. They are not caused by steroid injections. There are certain factors which make someone prone to develop keloids like black race, dark pigmented skin, Asian race. There's some genetic correlation too. Wounds with any foreign body, infection are more likely to heal by such abnormal scar. Treatment includes compression bandages, intraluminal steroid injections & silicon occlusive Chat Doctor. Hope my answer helps you. Thank you
