I have tried various creams, cortizone injections, applications of silicon sheet, etc, with little benefit. Also, I heard, third-hand, of injection with new drug to reduce collagen production in scar, but I can not find any info. Thank you for any help. Off hand, haven't heard of this, check with a plastic surgeon or dermatologist. I have taken steroids and homeopathic treatment just to find that it is still growing.
Keloids are difficult to treat.
Currently, if local steroid injection does not help there is little that can be done. Some physicians are experimenting with topical drugs like methotrexate, but this is very experimental. Back to Drug InfoNet Home Page. Back to Doctor FAQ main page. Send your impressions, comments, thoughts, etc.
