How To Treat Keloid Scars and Keep Them From Coming Back

by Martha Fitzharris

Keloid scars mustn't be confused with other scars. No one knows the reason why keloids show up, some are susceptible and some are troubled by keloids in isolated cases. Being such a strange type of scar, we need to know a bit more to understand exactly how we can treat it.

Keloid scars tend to have a tough rubbery texture or they can be shiny and fibrous and they may range in color from pinkish and flesh colored to red or dark brown. The color and texture will depend on the color of your skin. Keloid scars are benign, non-contagious and are sometimes accompanied by severe itchiness and sharp pains. They also have a tendency to change in texture and in severe cases they can affect movement of skin.

A natural treatment for keloid scar removal will definitely stop the occasional itching, regulate dermal fibroblast proliferation and excess collagen. Therefore, helps to prevent keloids and reduces keloid scarring. A natural product with organic ingredients acts as a potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory that regulates blood vessel formation and oxygenation of the skin is what's needed to avoid keloids. Such treatment should be made with Helix Aspersa Muller Glycoconjugates and two botanical ingredients that help to prevent the formation of keloid scars and stop itching. It also helps softening old surgical scars on coarse dry skin.

There are keloids that must be given special consideration because they form on the earlobe and can only be removed with thorough and aggressive treatment so that they do not grow back. Using a natural skin care treatment helps the skin remove the scars that are generally too difficult to remove without treatment. One study showed that keloids on earlobes have a recurrence rate of only 41% after surgery while studies using surgery and steroids show recurrence rates of 1% to 3%. The best results using surgery to remove keloid scars are due to several factors but a natural treatment with the right lotion can get rid of the scar just as well and without the consequences of surgery. These types of lesions on the skin, when they happen for the first time, tend to be isolated which makes keloid scar removal easier from the dermis and the adjacent epidermis in almost every case presented.

Treatment for Keloid Scarring

Bioskincare can help care of keloid scars as well as other kinds of hypertrophic scars. A keloid on the ear is the most difficult to remove because a full scar removal is necessary to make sure the keloid scar does not grow back. Post surgical treatment methods that are used to prevent the reoccurrence of keloids use Bioskinrepair to avoid radiation therapy which is proven to be quicker but may cause additional scarring which is notoriously prevented when using the lotion.
