My daugher has a keloid scar on her throat from a trachea when she was in a near fatal car accident. We tried "Mederma" and Pure Vitamin E oil on it. It reduced the redness but didn't flatten the scar.
There really isn't anything you can do to get rid of it and surgery is sometimes counter-productive.
The only thing the doctors told us to do to help lessen it is:
Cortisone injections once a month...they say this will significantly flatten the keloid and it's safe and not very painful.
We haven't gone that route yet because she has recently just recovered after a one year stay in the hospital and I don't want to put her through anything right now.
Another suggestion was Silicone sheeting -- For reasons that are not clear, applying a silicone sheet (which is available in pharmacies without a prescription) nightly for several months can gradually and safely minimize some keloids.
Compression -- Long-term compression of keloids with pressure bandages can help soften them, too. This is a very slow process though.
My daughter suffered a severe traumatic brain injury, was in a coma for 3 months on life support and given a 1% chance of survival. After a year in the hospital, numerous surgeries and all day/every day extensive therapies...she did recover quite well.
She went from prom queen/looking forward to medical school to mentally and physically disabled with lots of scars all over her body and losing all of her so-called friends. It's been tough on her and us! But we've learned from it...
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and the only beholder you should be concerned with is yourself. Love yourself and your keloid! : )
We now call all of her scars "battle wounds"

probably best to ask the doctors about that one. You can get some really good cover up makeup nowadays though.
I'm not sure if it will help a keloid scar, but for my scars i used bio oil, which significantly reduced there apperance.
Good luck. Hope you find something that works

There is no home remedy for keloids.
Even for your doctor it will be difficult to remove.
If they cut it ,stich the place again and inject steroids that can help.
Don't try anything at home. that may form more keloids.

I have a large fresh scar on my leg where i got bitten by a dog, got stitched, got infected etc, so its pretty horrific. I have been using bio oil and it has faded dramaticaly over the past few weeks. also cocoa or shea butter is good for restoring elasticity to scarred skin.
I feel for you hunny, at least i can cover mine up:(

You could try a silicone gel product (eg Siligel, Dermatix). Dermatologists are using these for scars now. Ask your pharmacist if you can get one without a prescription.

I have many options for u:
apply sandalwood paste on the scars,
apply juice of coriander at night and see the magic next morning,
apply products of garnier as they r very mild
try a paste of tomato juice+lemon juice+honey+chick pea powder. wash off after 30 minutes. it works!!!

Bio-oil is good. Be very careful what home products you put on the face though. Or you could see your doctor for advice - if red and unsightly, steroid injections give excellent results.
