Dermatologist,  's  Response
hello
thank write to healthcaremagic
there are some treatment for keloids and hypertrophic scar which include
-Emollients (creams and oils)
-Silicone gel scar reduction
-Pressure dressings 12 to 24 hours per day, for at least 8 to 12 weeks, and perhaps for much longer.
-Surgical excision (but in keloids, excision may result in a new keloid even larger than the original one)
-Intralesional corticosteroid injection (20- 40 mg/1 ml), repeated every 3-4 weeks
-Cryotherapy
-Pulsed dye laser
-Skin needling
-Subcision
