Keloids are raised, thickened scars that grow beyond the original wound’s boundaries.

Steroid injections may sting briefly. Cryotherapy and laser are generally well tolerated with cooling techniques used in clinic.
They might, but when surgery is combined with radiotherapy and silicone compression, recurrence rates are significantly lower.
A multimodal protocol—steroid injections, silicone therapy, cryotherapy or laser, and surgery when needed—delivers the most reliable results.
