Discovering keloids for the first time is often not too disconcerting. However, after a few years they become extremely unsightly to the point that it can erode the confidence of even the most non-body conscious woman, as was the case with me up until my early thirties.

So what can be done about it, well there are a multitude of treatment options available some with greater success rates than others. I myself have undergone a few unsuccessful treatment routes and for this reason I hope to shed light on a relatively unknown subject matter, and assist in highlighting the best treatment plan for you.

WHAT ARE KELOIDS

To the uninitiated, keloids are thick, itchy clusters of scar tissue that generally grow beyond the edges of a wound. It is common for them to appear in a nodular form, 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.

KELOID TREATMENT PLANS

A primary tool in the prevention of keloids is to ascertain whether you are prone to such scarring. If you are one of these people it is highly recommended avoid any elective skin surgery and piercings. Unfortunately for me and my lovely mocha skin, keloids are most prevelant in people with dark skin tones, although they can occur in people with fair skin too.

By the time I turned 32 I could no longer stand the sight and irritation of my keloid scars so 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 spoken with people with similar experiences after undertaking various laser treatments, radiation, freezing (cryotherapy), and other forms of surgical removal.

However, the solution that has completely worked for me is the daily application of a natural scar removal cream. Up until this point in time the cream 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. Furthermore, the cream thankfully removed the discomforting and incessant itching that is associated with keloids.

So for those of you who have partaken in various keloid treatment solutions without success I personally recommend BIOSKINCARE. This 100% natural scar cream contains enzymes that dissolves scar tissue while helping the process of rebuilding new collagen and improving the elasticity of the skin. No other choice usurps this keloid scar reduction solution.
