3 Top Tips for Instant Keloid Relief

by Abigail Mckenzee

If you are one of the many sufferers of keloids in the world who is yet to find a course of treatment that actually works then this article is for you. For years I sought out an effective solution to my ever growing keloid problem but it was to no avail, until a friend finally pointed me in the right direction.

If you've dealt with keloids for years, or if you are beginning to discover the appearance of scarring, especially after surgery then please pay close attention. It took me over 10 years to discover how to best treat this irritating and unsightly skin condition but if you follow these three simple tips you should be getting rid of your unwanted keloids in no time.

KELOIDS: A CLOSER LOOK

For those of you who are unaware, keloids are thick, itchy clusters of scar tissue that generally grow beyond the edges of a wound. They frequently posses a nodular shape, and they are often darker in color than the surrounding skin. In addition, keloid scars have a fondness for reappearing, sometimes requiring repeated treatment. This is possibly why I have first hand experience with all the following treatment options.

THE BEST KELOID TREATMENT PATH

Top Tip #1 - Identify Your Risk Category

One of the first things you should do in order to prevent keloids is to ascertain whether you are prone to such scarring. If this situation applies to you it may be wise to avoid any elective skin surgery and piercings. Unfortunately for me and my lovely mocha skin, keloids are most frequent in people with dark skin tones, although they can appear on people with fair skin too.

Top Tip #2 - Treat Surgery with Caution

It wasn't until I reached my early thirties that I chose to do something about my keloid scars and following my doctor's advice I undertook a series of corticosteroid injections. As if living through a nightmare, these unsightly scars proved too resilient and simply reoccurred once I stopped receiving the injections. I have also heard similar stories from people who have undergone various laser treatments, radiation, freezing (cryotherapy), and other forms of surgical removal.

Top Tip #3 - Find a Natural Solution

However, what I have found to be extremely effective is the daily application of a natural scar removal cream. This to date has been the only solution that has both reduced the appearance and size of the scarring, as well as curbing the introduction of new keloid scars. Moreover, the cream thankfully removed the discomforting and incessant itching that accompanies keloids.

So for those of you who have undertaken various keloid treatment solutions without success I personally recommend BIOSKINCARE. This 100% natural scar cream contains enzymes that dissolves scar tissue while expedited the rebuilding of new collagen and improving the elasticity of the skin. After discovering this cream I would never consider another keloid scar reduction solution.
