How Effective Keloid Scar Removal Is Achieved
Keloids fall into the category of types of scars that are not bound by the area of the original injury. Appearing bulbous often like a tumor, they are rubbery and continue to increase in size.
Due to their growth abilities, they can become quite sizeable. Unfortunately, they can also form even after much time has passed since the time of the inflammation. Keloids often grow out of burn scars, surgery scars, piercing scars as well as acne scars. Keloids are known to cause discomfort with regard to tenderness and itching. Although generally purplish, keloids can present themselves in an array of colors, including pinks, reds, and browns.
Unlike keloid scars, hypertrophic scars (also raised scars) don’t grow in size. They also stick to reddish hues.
What Causes Keloids?
We still do not know why keloids form. They are investigating changes in cellular signaling with regard to growth and proliferation.
Who are most Susceptible to Keloid Scar Formation?
Men and women both develop keloid scars. As women typically have more earlobe and body piercings, in the past more women developed keloids than men. Children and the elderly are less likely to develop keloids. African Americans, Asians and those with dark skin tones have a higher risk of developing keloids.
Keloid Scar Removal Treatments
*Cortisone injections: Cortisone is injected (over a course of several treatments) to flatten keloid scars. Very little steroid gets absorbed into the blood stream and this process is not painful. Steroid injections can however stimulate blood vessels close to the surface of the skin, causing the scar to become redder.
*Surgery: Cutting this type of scar tissue can lead to its regrowth, sometimes larger than the original. For this reason, surgeons might follow this procedure with injections or pressure dressings.
*Laser: Pulsed-dye lasers have been used to flatten keloids and make them appear less red. Although safe and not too painful, this requires several treatments, is quite expensive and not usually covered by insurance plans.
*Silicone: A gel or sheet is applied or wrapped to the protrusion; the longer the better. This must be repeated until desired results are obtained. *Compression dressings: Beyond silicone, polyurethane and other materials are also used as occlusive dressings to stop growth of keloids. For results, one must apply the dressings to the wound for 12-24 hours a day until results are seen.
Home Remedies for Keloid Scarring
For keloid acne scar removal, seek a treatment that is less invasive. Below are a few of many keloid scar removal home remedies.
*Baking soda and hydrogen peroxide: Make a paste with baking soda and one part hydrogen peroxide. Put directly on the affected area.
*Apple cider vinegar: After applying to scarred tissue, allow apple cider vinegar to dry. Re-apply every half hour for several hours.
*Asprin: Use crushed asprin mixed with water to form a paste. Put on scar with a Q-tip and let dry. Rinse.
*Potassium iodide: Use 3-4 times a day directly on scar.
*Mucin, a rejuvenating substance formed by the Helix Aspersa Muller: Apply product containing mucin to keloid once or twice a day.
