How can I prevent keloid regrowth after surgery?

Patient's Query

Surgery was done on keloid on my back but it's not healing fast. What should I do to make it not to grow back

Answered by Dr. Deepak Jakhar

Keloids are raised, pink scars that can grow beyond the original wound area. They are caused by an excessive production of collagen during the healing process. To prevent their recurrence, you should keep the wound clean, use silicone gel sheets, and abstain from activities that might irritate the skin. If the keloid persists in causing problems, other treatment options like steroid injections or laser therapy can be considered. Ensure to follow up with a dermatologist to discuss what should be done next.

Female | 30

Salicylic acid and glycolic acid peels can be beneficial for skin.. Both ingredients exfoliate, unclog pores, and improve skin texture .. SALICYLIC ACID is oil soluble, making it an effective treatment for acne-prone skin.... GLYCOLIC ACID is water soluble, making it a good choice for dry skin.

Female | 17

When certain allergies occur, body parts tend to swell. This might have been caused by contact with something like a plant or chemical that does not agree with you. Ensure the affected area is washed properly. To reduce the swelling, you can use an antihistamine. Seek immediate medical attention if things get worse or if you find it hard to breathe.

You may have bilateral facial swelling, meaning both sides of your face are swollen. This could be caused by infections, allergies, or dental issues. It's important to see a physician as soon as possible to identify the cause and receive appropriate treatment. In the meantime, you can apply ice packs to reduce the swelling and avoid eating foods high in salt and spices.
