Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your situation and problem.
Keloid is type of wound healing. It is actually familial tendency.
Surgical removal of Keloid is contraindicated because chances of recurrence are very high.
Keloid is actually harmless and hence no treatment is required.
But for cosmetic purpose, people want to remove Keloid.
And for this surgery should not be done.
Intra keloid steroid injections are useful in some cases.
So if you have cosmetic problem with Keloid than consult dermatologist and discuss about intra Keloid steroid injection.
Hope I have solved your query.
Wish you good health. Thanks.
