Does anybody know how to get rid of keloid scars? ?
Not much gets rid of them. I have a large one on my neck from a biopsy operation almost thirty years ago. Despite having the potential to be serious, the disease diagnosed as a result of the biopsy caused me no trouble. The keloid has been periodically a nuisance ever since. It caused severe nerve pain, so excision was attempted but it grew back. Next was injection with corticosteroid. This was the most painful single thing in my life and the injection site hurt like a raging fire for two days! Finally, a doctor suggested trying to reduce the cell growth with radiation. This is most unusual for people who don’t have cancer but the risk was considered acceptable. The treatment worked in that it stopped the nerve pain. However, the scar remains.
