1. Keloids that proliferate into larger masses often require surgical treatment. Injection therapy is more suitable for patients with protruding keloids but not very large masses.
2. The surgeon can minimize the possibility of recurrence through strict tension reduction and precise cosmetic suturing, but whether recurrence occurs after surgery is still directly related to the individual’s physique, the degree of scar proliferation, and the location of the site.
3. The recurrence rate of surgery alone is very high and needs to be combined with radiation or nuclear therapy. Radiation therapy takes a total of 10 times and about 2 weeks.
4.In addition to radiotherapy, conventional anti-scar treatment such as scar paste or scar silicone cream is still needed for 6~12 months.
5. Due to the possibility of recurrence, post-operative outpatient follow-up is required every 2 months, and you need to keep an eye on the scar proliferation yourself. If there is a sign of scar recurrence, it can easily be controlled by injection therapy and other methods in the early stage. Do not wait until the scar recurrence is more serious before coming to the follow-up clinic.
6. After regular treatment, keloid patients have a high chance of being cured, so don’t give up easily.
