Keloid problem. Help Needed.?

Question

My daughter had her tuberculosis shot in her arm and developed keloid which is annoyingly painful at times.
She went to see a skin specialist once and had injections twice into the keloid area and found some relief but the pain came back thereafter.
Could anyone advise what she could consider to overcome the pain or, better still, to remove the keloid.
Thank you.

Answer 1

A keloid can't be totally removed but the appearance and discomfort of it can be improved dramatically in most cases. Many times, the injections provide only temporary relief. There is nothing you can do yourself but there are options available to treat keloids. Treatments include:
cortisone injections
laser treatment
cryosurgery
surgery followed with radiation

Most of the time, doctors will not do "regular" surgery just to remove the keloid; special specific surgery is required. The reason why is that the chances are good the keloid would just return. Keloids are extremely hard to treat. Please see a dermatologist again to see what options are best for your skin type.

Answer 2

I have heard the homeopathy may work in eliminating keloids to some extent. You may want to look up on the internet to find additional information. You may want to try: http://www.askdrshah.com/. You'll probably need to contact them to find out if they offer any treatment. Good luck!
