If you are one of the many sufferers of keloids in the world who is yet to find an effective treatment plan then this article is for you. For years I looked for an effective solution to my ever growing keloid problem but it was to no avail, until a friend finally pointed me in the right direction.

If you've dealt with keloids for years, or if you are beginning to discover the appearance of scarring, especially after surgery then please pay close attention. It took me over 10 years to understand how to best treat this irritating and unsightly skin condition but if you follow these three simple tips you should be getting rid of your unwanted keloids in no time.

KELOIDS: A CLOSER LOOK

To the uninitiated, keloids are thick, itchy clusters of scar tissue that generally grow beyond the edges of a wound. They are sometimes very nodular in nature, and they are often darker in color than the surrounding skin. In addition, keloid scars have a fondness for reappearing, sometimes requiring repeated treatment. Due to this unpleasant fact I have first hand experience with all the following treatment options.

THE BEST KELOID TREATMENT PATH

Top Tip #1 - Identify Your Risk Category

A key ingredient in learning to prevent keloids is to ascertain whether you are prone to such scarring. If you are one of these people it is highly recommended avoid any elective skin surgery and piercings. Unfortunately for me and my lovely mocha skin, keloids are most prevelant in people with dark skin tones, although they can affect people with fair skin too.

Top Tip #2 - Treat Surgery with Caution

It wasn't until I reached my early thirties that I chose to do something about my keloid scars and following my doctor's advice I undertook a series of corticosteroid injections. To my dismay these horrendous scars proved too resilient and simply reoccurred once I stopped receiving the injections. This situation also seems to ring true with other keloid sufferers I have met who have undergone various laser treatments, radiation, freezing (cryotherapy), and other forms of surgical removal.

Top Tip #3 - Find a Natural Solution

However, the treatment that has transformed my keloid problem is the daily application of a natural scar removal cream. Throughout the last 15 years this has been the only solution that has both reduced the appearance and size of the scarring, as well as curbing the introduction of new keloid scars. In addition, the cream thankfully removed the discomforting and incessant itching that accompanies keloids.
