In dermatology the skin provides the bodies main defence. As a result of this when we injure ourselves it’s imperative, we heal as quickly as possible.
Scar tissue is the repair mechanism our bodies produce to repair defects in the skin. You can imagine this is equivalent of filling in potholes on the road surface ie never looks as good as the real thing but performs a job. Scar tissue is exactly the same.

Unfortunately surgery to remove keloid scars can result in a even worse keloid scarring. In certain cases surgery is the only option however this requires close follow up to treat the any recurrence at an early stage but also at the time of treatment having a steroid injection into the area.
Most keloid scars will soften, become less red and flatten slightly over 1-2 years but those that don’t will remain as they are. If you have symptoms from a keloid scar then seeking a doctors advice is worthwhile to help.
