When the dermis is damaged, our body produces collagen fibres to repair the wound. This is laid down rapidly and densely, creating a scar.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, when excess collagen is produced during the healing process, keloid scars can form. These are raised scars that form beyond the original wound \u2014 thick, raised, and sometimes, darker than the surrounding skin.

At Livingstone Dermatology, our dermatologists may recommend one or a combination of the following treatment options:<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Corticosteroid injections \u2013<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> corticosteroid injections are a first-line treatment for keloids. These injections help reduce inflammation, suppress excess collagen production, and flatten the scar over time. Multiple sessions may be required, spaced several weeks apart, to achieve noticeable improvement. Additionally, this treatment is particularly effective for reducing itching, pain, and discomfort associated with keloids.<\/span><\/li><li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Cryotherapy \u2013 <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/livingstonedermatology.com.sg\/our-services\/cryotherapy\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">cryotherapy<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> involves freezing the keloid using liquid nitrogen. This process helps shrink the scar, making it less noticeable. It is especially useful for smaller keloids, and can be combined with other treatments, such as corticosteroid injections, for enhanced effectiveness. Cryotherapy may require multiple sessions, and mild skin irritation or temporary pigmentation changes may occur post-treatment.<\/span><\/li><li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Laser therapy \u2013 <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">laser therapy targets the excess collagen within the keloid to gradually reduce its size, and improve its appearance. Specific laser types, such as pulsed dye lasers, help to fade the redness, and flatten the scar. Laser treatment is often combined with other therapies to maximise its effects, and multiple sessions are typically required for optimal results.<\/span><\/li><li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Radiation therapy \u2013 <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">in cases where keloids are particularly stubborn or recurrent, radiation therapy may be considered. This treatment is usually performed after surgical removal to prevent the regrowth of keloid tissue. It involves the use of low-dose radiation to inhibit excessive collagen production, reducing the likelihood of the keloid returning. Radiation therapy is carefully administered to minimise potential risks and side effects.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Silicone sheets or Gels \u2013<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> silicone-based treatments, including sheets and gels, provide a non-invasive method for softening, and flattening keloid scars. These products work by hydrating the scar tissue, regulating collagen production, and improving overall skin texture. Consistent application over several months is necessary for significant results, and it is often recommended as part of a long-term scar management plan.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Surgical removal \u2013<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for larger or persistent keloids, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/livingstonedermatology.com.sg\/our-services\/excision\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">surgical excision<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> may be an option. However, keloids have a high recurrence rate after surgery, so additional treatments, such as corticosteroid injections or radiation therapy, are often recommended to prevent regrowth. Our dermatologists use precise techniques to minimise scarring and optimise healing outcomes.<\/span><\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-eaa89bf elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"eaa89bf\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Summary<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6c5a1bd elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6c5a1bd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While keloid scars can be persistent, and impact self-confidence, they are manageable with the right treatment approach.
