Keloids challenge both skin health and self-confidence. Unlike typical scars, keloids involve excessive growth of scar tissue, extending beyond the initial wound site. They often occur after skin injuries, including acne, piercings, burns, surgeries, and even minor scratches or insect bites. If you have darker skin or a family history, your risk increases. Genetics and local skin tension play crucial roles in this abnormal healing process, so remaining aware of any changes after skin trauma is essential.
Causes and Prevention of Keloids
Skin produces collagen during healing. Occasionally, this process becomes overactive, causing keloids. Factors such as genetic predisposition and tension around a wound make some people more susceptible. To decrease your risk, avoid unnecessary skin injuries whenever possible. Practice proper wound care: clean any wounds gently, apply petroleum jelly, and cover with a sterile bandage. Using silicone gel pads and pressure earrings after piercings decreases the likelihood of developing thick scars. Furthermore, respond quickly if you notice thickening or unusual growth after trauma, since early intervention often prevents keloids from forming.
Non-Surgical Keloid Treatments Available
Derma Clinic Kathmandu excels in offering advanced, non-surgical options for keloid management, designed to improve both aesthetics and comfort.
- Intralesional Steroid Injection (IL-Injection): Specialists at Derma Clinic administer corticosteroids directly into keloids, targeting the scar at its source. This approach not only reduces inflammation, but also prevents excessive collagen from building up. Patients usually see their keloids flatten, soften, and become less noticeable after treatment.
- Liquid Nitrogen Cryotherapy: Rather than removing scar tissue surgically, clinicians use extremely cold temperatures to freeze and destroy keloid cells. This method typically involves several sessions and often yields excellent outcomes, especially for smaller keloids. Combining cryotherapy with other therapies further enhances results.
- Topical Silicone Gel and Other Creams: Applying silicone gel pads and medicinal creams can complement in-clinic treatments. These products support the healing process, especially when used consistently over several weeks.
- Emerging Therapies: Patients also benefit from laser therapy, compression treatments, and personalized ointments, which target specific keloid characteristics.
