Ever had a wound heal only to leave behind a thick, raised scar that won’t go away?
That’s a keloid—a type of scar that’s not dangerous, but annoying, especially when it shows up somewhere visible. You might feel like covering it all the time.
Keloids form when the body overproduces scar tissue in response to a wound, causing it to grow beyond the original injury. They can appear from something as minor as a pimple, insect bite, piercing, injection, or burn. Even a small scratch can trigger it. And the worst part? Even after treatment, keloids can come back.
How to Deal with Keloids
1. Steroid Injections
Help flatten and reduce the appearance of scar tissue. Usually done in multiple sessions, depending on your skin’s response.
2. Laser Therapy
Ideal for reducing redness and improving skin texture. Just ensure that a qualified professional performs it.
3. Surgery
Can be used to remove large keloids—but there’s always a chance it might grow back. Always consult your doctor first.
4. Topical Creams or Gels
A practical, low-risk option. Use regularly for the best results.
Try wund+™ Scar Gel, formulated with:
- Silicone: Helps lock in moisture and supports proper scar healing.
- Glycerin: Deeply hydrates the skin, keeping it soft and flexible.
- Citric Acid: Gently exfoliates dead skin cells and boosts skin regeneration.
This combination works to lighten discoloration, soften thick scars, and gradually improve the appearance of keloids.
