I have had a huge keloid since first grade
when I had open heart surgery.
The doctors tried to remove it but instead
it grew back even bigger. I am sixteen
now and I still cant wear anything other
then t-shirts because everything else is
too low and its an embarrassment for
people to see it. I have been using
scar-so-soft for about a year and a half
now and still not much improvement. Do
keloids go away to the point where they
arent really noticable? What can I do? I
am at a loss. This is extremely
frustrating so any suggestions would be
greatly appreciated.
Thanks so much
Keloids do not usually just go away.
Have you consulted a plastic surgeon?
Sounds like you would benefit from a
z-plasty. There are also new strips of
scar reducers that are over the counter.
A plastic surgeon I work with uses them on
his patients. I can't remember what they
are called, but they are clear sheets of
collagen (i think) that you apply and
leave over the scar for a prolonged
period.
