Keloids

So I had an appointment with the surgeon yesterday, along with getting another small fill he informed me that my scars have formed keloids. Very unusual for someone with as fair of a complexion as mine, he joked that I must be "black irish" :thumbup: So has anyone else developed keloids,and what if anything have you done to treat them. I am going to see if I can get in with a Derm maybe I can get some kenalog injections. But in case that doesn't fly with my MD what else can I do?

I got a keloid from a previous op and I'm very fair. I didn't do anything to it as this was long ago and there wasn't really anything available but over time it eventually dissappeared.

you may want to try kenalog in the cream form before you go with the injections. ive sen some pretty good results with it. hopefully soething works for you.:thumbdown:
