my son's hand got burned three months ago. Some parts of his hands are better now but there are two patches of skin that turned to keloid, is there any possible way for his hand to return to normal without any skin grafting. His only 2 years old, I don't want him to go through that pain again.

Umm....sorry but i think getting rid of keloid is really very hard.. but the one thing u can smile about is that... the most problematic area where a keloid can develop is one the chest ... u can try creams like others in this page would have prescribed ... but i would suggest u to take him to a dermatologist and ask him about interkeloid injection of steroids which would prevent it from developing more and has less side effects...
also i don't know why u don't want grafting but i think that is the best option .... but BEWARE a keloid can recur on the place where the grafting was done
cheeeeeeeeeeeeeerio

i have several keloid scars from surgeries Ive had to have and the are about 3 years old now and they are fading and getting smoother on there own and I'm 25 so hopefully him just being 2 they will smooth out some on their own and not be as noticeable

you can get a cream from chemist which is supposed to reduce scarring cant remember name(try google for it).when my daughter had plastic surgery on her face they said to rub e45 cream on it with slight pressure to reduce the edge of the scar.she now has faint white line that people dont notice unless we point it out.
