Keloid scars generally stabilize 2-3 years after formation, after which they do not continue to proliferate.
The keloid itself is an abnormal proliferation of skin tissue, a disease that occurs when the skin is stimulated from outside and the wound surface heals while the fibrous connective tissue inside overproliferates during its own healing. The keloid forms a red bump on the skin, and the fibrous tissue will stabilize within 2-3 years and will not continue to grow. However, in some cases, the formation of keloid scars is accompanied by significant burning and itching, and in some cases, pain, and early treatment can reduce the extent of scar proliferation.
It is recommended that people with keloid scars may choose to use medications that inhibit scar proliferation at the beginning of scar formation, which can reduce the extent of keloid proliferation to a certain extent. If the keloid has already formed initially, then it is recommended to use some glucocorticoids for local closure treatment under the guidance of a doctor, which can play a softening role.
