Keloid

Keloid

When skin is injured, fibrous tissue (called scar tissue) forms over the wound to repair and protect the injury. In some cases, scar tissue grows excessively, forming smooth, hard growths called keloids. Keloids can be much larger than the original wound, and are most commonly found on the upper chest and shoulder. However, keloids can affect any part of the body.

Keloid treatment at Quang Minh Clinic

There are many types of treatment for keloid, ranging from cortisone injection, removal surgery, laser to radiation… All these options tend to soften and flatten the tissue but might not completely clear all traces of the scar. Among those, cortisone injection is an option that brings high effectiveness while remain being a safe technique with moderate cost. Patients can expect 80 – 90% effectiveness.

Treatment process

You will be consulted about technique and treatment process.

Apply antiseptic

Inject cortisone directly into the keloid

Apply antiseptic and instruction for self-care at home.
