I had a small one on the back of my hand that seemed to develop from a tiny cat scratch and kept slowly growing for about two and a half years. I looked online and found things like steroid injections and silicon sheets applying pressure supposedly help. Other things like lasers also supposedly help with the color.





For me, it was only half-an-inch across so I thought I would just try covering it with the sticky tape of a plastic band-aid (I cut off the part with the pad). I wore that for about two weeks and took it off and it was remarkably much better after that and hasn't regressed since. I don't know why that worked so well.
Reply:A lot of guys think that think dark keloids are sexy. I think you should make it darker and find I guy that has a sexy keloid on his arm as well.
Reply:Have you tried getting it burned off?
Reply:hi! i have keloids on my legs from surgery. i've been using palmer's scar serum lately and it works but slowly so if your keloid is big, i would recommend putting mederma on it. i hope one of these works. good luck! :)
Reply:It sure is tough to have keloids and hard to treat them, since the reason we form keloids is over healing of the skin, so if a treatment is too aggressive for them, you might make it worse. Some dermatologists do a series of microdermabrasion to smooth the skin down and also lighten it. Also try Hydroquinone a skin lightener, you must be careful with this though, could make skin lighter than natural color. For a natural way, products with papaya enzyme or pineapple enzyme are lightening agents, but takes a long time for these to take effect. Good luck and call around skin care clinics for help.
Reply:I'm not sure what a "keloid" is but you should see a good dermotologist and let him/her decide and prescribe something that works. I wouldn't mess around with "over the counter" junk that may or may not work. Pops
