In
taking care of your skin there are certain routines that we follow in order to
protect our skin from harmful fungi and unwanted scars. But
despite the fact, there are unavoidable incidents that could take place anytime.
One of the many problems of our skin are scars and skin infection.
In
this article we are going to tackle about Keloid scars, what it is, how to treat
it and what to do if it’s getting worse.
What’s
a Keloid Mark?
As
we all know scars occur when a wound heals. It is occur when there is rapid
extending of the skin which results to what we call stretch marks. However, when
there is over production of skin tissues during the healing process of the
wound, this will then turn into a keloid scar. Depending
on the circumstances, keloid varies in color, appearance and surface.
Although
it’s not acquired through air, it can be painful, itchy and the texture of the
scar changes. In
most cases, hypertrophic scars can be mistaken as keloid scars.
Take
note that these two types of scars have different properties.
One
noticeable difference is that keloid scars tend to overlap while hypertrophic
only takes the shape of the former wound.
Ways
on Curing Keloid Scar
Remedies
like Topical Cream- the
effectiveness of scar removing cream you are using will determine the fate of
your keloid. This
method is the cheapest of all and doesn't require much time maintaining and I
would personally recommend to apply this first. keloid
scars are not that easy to remove. That is why you have to choose a cream that
is strong enough to treat your problem. In
applying topical cream to remove keloid scars would totally depend on the
effectiveness of the cream you are using.
Surgery-
One
of the best method and the most effective way to get rid of your scar is through
surgery treatment. If
your problem can be treated using other means, I would advise you to do so
because surgery would require extra care during operation and after.
Another
draw-back with this process is that there is a possiblity that the scar wont be
totally erased and it may even reappear.
Silicone
Sheet Procedure-
unless
you have a good scar cream that you are going to use with a silicon scar sheet,
this method won’t be that effective. Although
the rate of effective of this remedy increases when certain criteria is met, the
are some issues on discomfort with this one. In
some cases when the user stopped using silicone sheets and scar cream the keloid
re-appeared. Another
issue with this method is the silicon sheet tends to cause itching. You need to
wear the sheet for 4-8 hours a day and the covering catches dust and germs which
causes skin irritation.
Hypodermic
injection
of anabolic
steroid-
You
only adhere to this option if your keloid is thick already. It's best to seek
your dermatologist's opinion. With
a minimum of two or three sessions of steroid injection your keloid will surely
be erased. But
there are discussions about the safety of using it and the injection is very
painful and uncomfortable.
To
avoid spending too much money, time and effort, as much as possible heal the
keloid marks even before it appears. In
the worst case scenario a radiation therapy is your ultimate option to get rid
of those nasty scars. .
When
you wish to
decide what keloid removing remedies you
need to choose, ensure
that you understand
the benefits
and drawbacks involve. Other
than searching
for the best scar solution for you personally, opt
for time
you're
willing
to invest along
the way.
