Around 8 years ago, I developed keloid scars on my chest, and they still look quite noticeable and ugly. Is there any treatment or medication you could recommend to help reduce or get rid of them?

One option is to use silicone gel sheets, such as Mepiform, applied directly to the keloid. Another option is to use corticosteroid injections, such as Kenalog, directly into the keloid to help reduce its size. In some cases, topical treatments like Mederma can also be beneficial. It is important to consult with a dermatologist to determine the best treatment plan for your specific situation.
