Is there any update treatments for keloids? What is the best treatment out there today?

I have keloids for almost 15 years. They came up after my chicken pox. I have 5 keloids. 3 are very small. The other 2 are the size of a quarter. They have not grown or diminished. I've had injection treatments but the results are very very minimal.

Get a keloid removal surgery in India.Cosmetic Surgery is very cheap in India.There is one company that is very famous in India that arranges cosmetic surgery for foreigners in India.They are called the Forerunners Healthcare.I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and about their patient stories.

I have also read that they arrange financing for american and canadian patients as cosmetic surgery is not covered by insurance.They also have photos pasted of their International patients.You can checkout their website.The cost savings are incredible.As a doctor i personally believe that your cosmetic surgery can be easily handled in India as the quality of healthcare available here is simply best in the world.The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.If you still havent got your surgery done,you are better off getting it done in India.

my cousin got a couple of plastic surgery procedures including her keloid removal surgery in India through the forerunners healthcare.She just paid 30% of the amount she was quoted in USA and is very happy with the results

I used tea tree oil, it's stinky, but it worked. Apply some with a Q-tip at least daily.

The treatment of choice for keloids is usually an injection of corticosteroid drugs such as cortisone directly into the lesion. These injections cause the keloid to become atrophic, or thinner, and are repeated every three to four weeks until the keloid has been resolved to the individual鈥檚 satisfaction. Other therapies include laser treatment or radiation therapy, and topical treatments are undergoing study. Surgery is often used in combination with corticosteroid injections. The injections are given for several weeks, and then the keloid is surgically removed. The injections are then continued for several weeks. Surgical removal of the keloid may also be used in conjunction with radiation therapy, which delivers small amounts of radiation to the affected area. Newer approaches include silastic gel sheeting, which makes use of pressure to flatten the keloid. The gel is applied and kept securely in place with tape, cloth, or an ace bandage. The dressing is to be changed every seven to 10 days, for as long as 12 months. Finally, researchers are now studying a type of tape that has been soaked with steroids, which are released slowly into the keloid, causing it to thin over time.
