Hello,
As per your case history of keloid, my treatment advice is -
1. Tea tree oil is not much effective for keloid.
2. Apply a Hexilak gel twice daily on it.
3. Take a vitamin E supplement once daily for three months.
4. Other treatment options are cryotherapy and intralesional steroid given by a dermatologist.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Harshit Bhachech
