Brief Answer:
Keloid

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
She has developed keloid.
It is a reactive condition in which fibrous tissue accumulates under skin.
Injection kenacort will be helpful.
The Injection needs to be given in the lesion once a month for 3 to 4 months.
Please meet a dermatologist and get it done.
Creams won't be effective.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you.

Hi,

She is pregnant, can the above medication be used during this period? Also, can we inject it on our own?

Brief Answer:
After delivery

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Don't go for injection during pregnancy.
You can get the treatment done post delivery.
Injection needs to be given by dermatologist as it is a special injection to be given in skin only
If it is given in improper way it might be harmful.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
