Avatar m tn I recently tried out a product called Mole Wart Vanish - http://www.wartmolevanish.com/ I was so excited that I used it on every single mole on my body which was over 30 of them. After treatment, I'm left with massive, RAISED, dark red, keloid scars that are 2-3 times the size of the original mole. I've been using Dermatix Ultra for over 3 months and I can't say I've seen any improvements at all. Now my whole body is covered with horrible looking raised scars.
Avatar n tn laser therapy and other injectable agents, such as interferon alpha and gamma. Surgical removal of keloids may lead to the keloid coming back larger than it was before the excision. It is difficult to comment on the authenticity of the website you mentioned. It would help if you can talk to someone who actually have experienced their services or if you contact their office. Take care and regards.
Avatar n tn Hey, I have freeze burns on my arm from treating moles with blemish free, It got rid of the moles but my skin has had three big red blotches for two months now since the blisters peeled away. I also have a fairly bad keloid from abraiding my moles and applying a bloodroot product called dermatend.
Avatar f tn a few years ago whilst getting my hair straightened, very small part of my head was slightly burnt, now i have what looks like a wart. its not discoloured or dry or anything, it also has hair (hair usually grows there anyway) growing from it. its about the size of a rubber on the tip of a pencil. ive been wanting to remove it for ages, but all the wart removal creams say "dont use if hair is growing from wart". im not even sure what it is! should i just use the creams anyway?
Avatar m tn How do I get Steroid injection for Keloid? Is it safe to use steroid injection for keloid.
Avatar m tn Find out if the proposed treatment works first for your particular keloid condition before removal....or you could end up with a much bigger scar. This happened to me. Very upsetting. You have my best wishes and compassion.
Avatar m tn I'm a male with mixed skin type.I have a keloid on the front of my earlobe from a piercing that got infected about 7 years ago. When I took the piercing out it stopped growing. It's small and red, but really embarrassing. I'm thinking about going to the dermatologist to ask about cyrotherapy or steroid injections. When I first got my keloid and asked my doctor about getting it removed he said there's nothing he could do. But I can't live with it anymore.
Avatar f tn my husband is suffering with keloid for the past 10 years.it gets infected often and puss and blood ooz out. it is very painful too. what is the treatment for it?
Avatar m tn Many people who get keloids from ear/nose piercings use tea tree oil to shrink them and eventually they fall off or fade away. I was wondering if tea tree oil can be used on keloid scars NOT growing outward from the skin, as in keloid scars on your shoulders and back. They are more flat and less ball-like compared to piercing keloids that can easily fall off. Would it shrink? Would it make it worse and grow?
Avatar f tn ve been looking for articles regarding the use of accutane in patients with keloid/hypertrophic scarring, but all I can seem to find are horror stories of people taking accutane and going and having laser treatment/dermabrasion resulting in keloid formation. I would never do that to my skin during such a delicate time! I just want to know what to expect of my keloid prone skin *while taking* accutane. I can't find anything on the subject! My question is...
Avatar f tn please let me know if someone can give me advise to make keylois unnoticeable using traditional method or i can get easily or use daily....besides the steriod injection,surgery...laser treatment and some treatment method .... please....give a fast response..... thanks....
Avatar f tn Hi, I have a big keloid about 7 cm long and about 3 cm in width by my private part[ not on the part where I have to pee thank God].It is covered by my underwear.I had laser surgery years ago when I was a teenager but my keloid came back.I'm in my early 20's now.I had surgery then shots 2 years ago but it came back bigger.I didn't continue getting the shots because I didn't like the doc's behavior.I wish that I went somewhere else to get the shots.
Avatar f tn but recently i didnt go to inject the keyloid scar for 4 month.....is there will give an bad effect of my keloid scar?i appreciate with a response...thank you!!
Avatar n tn Hello, Dermatologic side effects have been reported by using accutane and keloid formation and pyoderma gangrenosum have been reported. Isotretinoin inhibits collagenase, which may result in accumulation of collagen and the formation of hypertrophic scars and keloids. A few patients have experienced keloid formation on the face when isotretinoin was administered in conjunction with dermabrasion.
Avatar n tn I had just one steroid injection to treat keloid growing in my areola area due to a breast life surgery. Scar seemed to have flattened down, but the veins are like growing out of the skin which is indented in that part. Is this a permanent side effect or the body will recover later?
Avatar n tn Dear Doctor, I'm 22 and I have Keloids all over my back and chest. I don't know what I ate or did, but they just seemed to form over night. A doctor removed one for testing and told me that though the keloids are benigned, he doesn't know exactly how to treat them. Even worse, another keloid grew in place of the removed one and is much harder and larger. As a result of the surgery, I've lost sensation in the area around the new growth.
Avatar f tn My body has rejected internal sutures three times in the past--I think the term my dermatologist used was that I was "spitting" the sutures--from the removal of questionable moles. Anyway, the first two times were done at the same time, the internal sutures worked their way out and I got a horrible infection and now have a nasty keloid. The third time, the doctor used different internal sutures, and again they worked their way out, slight infection and not as nasty of a keloid.
Avatar n tn Once they have formed, there is no completely satisfactory treatment. Treatments include cryosurgery, excision, laser, x-rays, and steroid injections. The best initial treatment is to inject long-acting cortisone into the keloid once a month. After several injections with cortisone, the keloid usually becomes less noticeable and flattens in three to six months. However, people who have a family history of keloids have a higher rate of recurrence after treatment.
203342 tn?1328737207 Hello. I would just like another expert opinion. My daughter has a pretty bad scar that is keloid. It's over 3 years old so it doesn't look like it's going to improve anymore. We've tried the laser treatments for over 4 months 2 years ago and that did little to make it look better. We've tried Vitamin E and scar creams. We are now considering scar revision surgery.
Avatar m tn He said the keloid I have on my earlobe is to small for the shot, but isn't the whole point of the shot is to make it smaller? He said the only way to get rid of it was by surgery and I'm to scared for that. I need real help because I tried silicone sheets for months now and no results. Should I see a different dermatologist? I posted a pic below.
