A keloid is an area of malformed tissue that develops at the site of an injury or scar. Keloids are known to be difficult to remove and, unlike scars, they do not disappear with time. But keloids can be removed or reduced thanks to steroid injections, surgical procedures, and laser therapy. One of the most controversial methods of treatment is the use of antikeloid cream.
Prescription and OTC creams for scars and scars
Some people have benefited significantly from these products, but topical creams are not usually considered an effective treatment for keloids.
Prescription antikeloid creams are made up of ingredients that promote the production of new cells, stimulate the immune system and reduce inflammation. When applied for several months, these creams smooth keloid scars. OTC creams are usually not able to absorb keloids; rather, they are used to relieve symptoms such as swelling and itching. These creams contain ingredients that help soothe irritated skin, moisturize the area near the keloid and treat skin discoloration associated with keloid formation.
The real effectiveness of creams against scars
Although an antikeloid cream cannot eliminate scar tissue, it can be an effective option for people who want to reduce the visibility of a keloid scar.
Antikeloid creams are most effective when used on a fresh scar. These funds must be used constantly, for a long time. Prescription creams can smooth out bulging keloids and reduce skin discoloration; however, even the strongest antikeloid creams will not affect the large scar, which protrudes significantly on the surface of the skin.
Less concentrated creams will not alter the size and shape of the keloid scar, but they can eliminate annoying symptoms such as itching, redness, and pain.
Can the scar "return"
It is worth remembering that even after cosmetic, surgical procedures to remove the keloid, there is a high probability that he will return. Instead of undergoing operations and invasive procedures, often people prefer to treat keloids with local creams.
These creams may not provide a miraculous effect, but they can improve the appearance of the keloid scar and surrounding skin.
In consultation with a dermatologist and with an independent study of how various anticeloid creams work, you can find a tool that offers significant advantages for the treatment of scars.
