  5. I've had keloids on my chest for over five years now. I tried cryotherapy and steroid injections which reduced their size a bit, and I also used silicon gel sheets for a year. But now, I have 5-7 keloids again in the same area and the previous treatments only worked temporarily. Is there a permanent solution for keloids? I really don't want to go for steroid injections again. Does allopathic medicine have a clear fix for this?

Your body has keloid forming tendency,if you attempt to remove one new one would come up,if it is cosmetically bothering you, you can go for one more course of treatment.
