Keloid can't be cured permanently. It's a kind of sensitivity causing to the skin. But keloid can be controlled without spreading to other parts of the body. One affected with keloid should not try to remove by his own as this may cause a big keloid on the same place. Laser treatments are there but not a permanent solution.

Keloid is a scar that happens with from a deep wound or even after surgery. This is a skin disease and some treatments are available to help reduce the scar tissue. They have found that if they inject the scar corticosteroids or other medicine it will help to reduce the scar. Otherwise, this can be surgically removed to reduce the scar tissue. There is actually no cure for this and the person can develop other, deep scarring from burns or surgery. It isn't possible to remove this scaring on your own and a doctor will need to remove it or treat it to help reduce the size of the scar.

A keloid is a scar which keeps growing. It irritates and may be itchy. It is sensitive if it runs on a garment.

Keloids may not really be cured but one can see a doctor. Do not attempt to remove the keloid by yourself. A doctor may use multiple treatment.

The doctor may freeze it, cut it out or inject it with medicine. Radiation may be the last resort. After treating a keloid it may return.

At present, there is no cure for keloids. Doctors have their techniques to cure this. It is best to have a consultation from a dermatologist.

There is no one treatment that works best for all keloids. Dermatologists typically tailor the treatment to the individual based upon factors such as age and type of keloid.

Keloids are not contagious and can be treated with various methods. Treatment options may include steroid injections, laser therapy, cryotherapy, pressure therapy, and surgery. Depending on the size and severity of the scar, some treatments may be more effective than others. With treatment, the scar can be minimized and the appearance improved. However, the treatment may need to be continued for an extended period of time to see the desired results, and in some cases, the scar may not be completely cured.

There are no proven methods of removing keloid scars naturally. Some clinical studies have shown that onion extract used orally or on the skin might possibly be effective in improving the appearance of keloid scars and reducing itchiness and discomfort.

Keloid is a type of raised scar that is difficult to cure completely. However, various treatments like corticosteroid injections, cryotherapy, laser therapy, and surgery may help to reduce the size and symptoms of keloids. It is important to note that the success of treatment may vary depending on the size and severity of the keloid, as well as the individual's response to treatment.
