How we successfully diminish scars is an important question as scars will in most cases usually come from any injury or a cut we experience. Three types of scars encompass the full-range of how they can appear on one's skin. Pitted, atrophic scars cause the injury or cut to be indented. Hypertrophic, raised scars grow above the cut or injury but not beyond its borders. And then there are keloid scars. These expand above and beyond the borders of the injury or cut to sections of the skin that were not originally injured. This is the hardest sort of scar to treat for a variety of reasons.

To start with the causes of keloid scars can vary from piercings to cuts to burns to inflammatory reactions resulting from acne. Next they may only begin to form after much time has elapsed since the original injury. The third and most dispiriting problem is removing the scar successfully via surgery will very easily cause a new keloid scar to raise over the surgery wound!

These factors of this sort of scar call for a deeper investigation as to how best to cure them.

Finding an Effective Treatment for Keloids

Doctors typically use complementary treatment methods to accompany surgery that reduce that chances of a post keloid treatment recurrence. The principal techniques involved with this approach are compression therapy and steroid injections.

The injection of steroids can be used both before, during, or after the sugery with the result of flattening out the scar. Long-acting cortisone (steroid) shots are generally injected on average one time a month with the difference in size apparent in three to six months time. A positive aspect is the cortisone treats the scar with very little of it going into the bloodstream.

Compression bandages are believed to work from limiting oxygen to the scar which reduces the biological process that leads to the formation of what are keloids. They are customized made garments that are made so they are worn 24 hours a day and changed once a week for a period of 6 to 18 months. They have a track record of successfully decreasing the proportions of the scar but the effort and time is very consuming.
