Keloid scars can be challenging to treat, especially if surgery or steroid injections have not been effective in the past. One option to consider is using silicone gel sheets, which have been shown to help flatten and soften keloid scars. You can try using Mepiform silicone gel sheets, applying them to the affected areas for at least 12 hours a day for several months to see improvement. Additionally, using pressure therapy with products like Jobskin pressure garments can also help reduce the size and thickness of keloid scars. It's important to be consistent with these treatments and be patient, as results may take time to show.
