I Am Suffering With Keloid Problem, Kindly Advise Me
I am suffering with Keloid problem since last 10 years. I have used so many medicines at Skin specialists. But, ther is no use. Now a days, the size is increased and paid also coming more. During the night time, the pain will come heavily, because the keloid was created at centre place of Chest. It is not possible to move right side or left side during the sleeping time. Kindly advise how to survive from Keloid problem.

Hi.. Welcome to healthcaremagic community forum...
Pain due to keloids is neuralgic pain. There are medical drugs available to reduce neuralgic pains. The disadvantage being, you may need these drugs every day.
A second solution to the present problem is treating the keloid. You can consider intralesion steroid administration, cryosurgery, laser therapy or combination of these. The disadvantage being there are chances of recurrence.
I would suggest you try the second option before considering only the drugs for pain relief.
