Suggest Treatment For Keloids On The Right Shoulder While On Tricort

Posted on Wed, 7 Jun 2017

Question: Hi,
I have moderate thickness keloids on right shoulder so is it safe to take Tricort 10mg/ml injection?
I am moving to the U.S. on 2nd XXXXXXX so planning to take first injection in XXXXXXX from a well known dermatologist and rest in the U.S. after consultanting there.
Also, is there any major side effects as I will be travelling from one country to another one and going to take first injection from XXXXXXX and then rest of the session injections from the U.S.?

Kindly, advice.

Hi,

Thank you doctor.
Today I have taken the first Tricort injection on my keloids. However, I am travelling to San Francisco, California end of this month so going to take my second injection from there.

Can you advice/suggest how will be the cost there for such treatment/injection per session ?
