Keloid Treatment for Raised, Thick & Overgrown Scars

Keloids are thick, raised scars that grow beyond the original wound area. They may appear after acne, injury, burns, surgery, ear piercing, cuts, or even minor skin trauma. Some keloids may cause itching, pain, tightness, or cosmetic concern.

Tired of Keloids That Keep Coming Back?

Keloids can be frustrating because they may continue growing even after the wound has healed. In some people, keloids may return even after removal if they are not treated with the right medical approach.
They commonly appear on areas like the chest, shoulders, back, jawline, ears, neck, and upper arms. Some people experience only visible raised scars, while others may have itching, tenderness, pain, or discomfort while wearing clothes or jewellery.

Personalized Keloid Care at Skin Sculpt

At Skin Sculpt, keloid treatment is not a one-size-fits-all approach. Every keloid is different in size, thickness, location, age, cause, and recurrence tendency. That is why treatment starts with a detailed scar evaluation.

The dermatologist will examine the keloid, understand how it started, check whether it is growing, assess symptoms like itching or pain, and discuss any previous treatments or removals.
