Im 26 years old and have developed keloids on my chest and shoulders. Im really concerned and want to know what could be causing this. What should I avoid to prevent them from getting worse, and are there any precautions I should take? Is there a permanent solution for keloids, or can they be removed completely?

Accepted Answer

Treatment may include corticosteroid injections, silicone gel sheets, cryotherapy, laser therapy, or surgical removal. However, it's important to note that keloids may recur even after treatment, so there is no guaranteed permanent solution.
