The brand I find most effective is Cica care. Its a silicone plaster that you wear over the scar for about 12 hrs a day. It will help to flatten it and reduce the redness (colouration). But it takes about 1-2 months before you can see much results. How fast the appearance improves also depends on the age of the keloid. If its less than a year you will see much better results. Hope that helps?

Other options for removing keloid scars are corticosteroid injections, laser surgery, cryosurgery, etc. They all are invasive methods for improving skin blemishes. Let's have a quick review so you can make an informed choice:
- Steroids injections treatment work by intensifying the activity of the collagen enzyme, which is the later responsible of breaking down collagen so that scars would slowly diminish its appearance.
- Silicone gel application is a process whereby a clear sheet of gel is applied to the injured area, wrap in cloth and fastened with bandage for at least twelve hours a day. With constant use, a flatter, much smoother keloid may result in a period of time that goes from two to twelve months. This process is usually repeated every two years.
- Mineral oil gel sheets are alternative to silicone gel application. This oil slowly melts into the skin thus giving the scar protection and moisture. This procedure is not recommended for open wounds.
- Laser methods may improve skin condition, but you have to know that they are very aggressive procedures. It is usually performed in combination of dermbrasion, or surgical excision.
- Dermbrasion is a type of process that includes the removing of the top layer of a scar with a high speed instrument, like a handheld laser or abrading tool. The scar will not completely disappear, but it will be less noticeable. This procedure must be performed by a plastic surgeon or qualify person.
- Z-plasty includes the repositioning of the scar so it lines up to the natural tissue healing of skin. As it is a surgery procedure, the old scar is removed and then incisions are made to create a flap in triangular shape. These flaps are then used to cover the wound in a "Z" pattern. And finally, with really fine stitches, the wound is closed.

My daughter had a large 6 inch keloid on her leg from a surgery that she had when she was a baby. She grew very self-consious about it when she became older and tried many home remedies and none worked. I took her to a plastic surgeon who surgically removed the Keloid and then put her leg in a cast to prevent her from being able to move her leg which would have made another Keloid form. This worked for her and we are very pleased with the results. Our insurance covered most of it too. Best wishes.

yes, dermatologists do it every day. They use liquid oxygen, they keep it in thermos; they dip a stick into it, covered with cotton, and then gently move it on top of your scar. The skin peels, and there is no scar but a white spot. If it is very prominent, you will have to do it a couple of times. It does not hurt a bit, just give you a cold feeling on the spot they treat, and it's not expensive. I had two done this way.

The only way to remove keloid scars is surgically by a plastic surgeon. You can have them injected with Kenalog but that is not a permanant solution.

when u go to a derm they will give u options, but another common one is injections with an IL steroid to shrink them. Works very well, but not sure if they will do that because of his age. Good luck!
