Many people often ask me, “Is there a scar here that is a keloid? How can I get rid of it? Clinically, keloid scars are usually classified as hyperplastic keloid scars, atrophic keloid scars and keloid scars. A keloid is a special type of pathological scar, which is a persistent lump growing above the normal skin surface, beyond the original injury, with a hard texture and poor elasticity, and may be accompanied by itching or pain, and is characterized by treatment resistance and a high recurrence rate of tumor-like diseases after treatment. Keloids are very common conditions. Unlike ordinary proliferative keloids, keloids are persistently proliferating and invade normal skin beyond its borders. Patients usually have some tendency to keloid scarring. Keloid scars may form after various traumatic injuries, surgical incisions, or even bites. In addition to affecting their appearance, keloid scars are prone to infections, proliferation, chronic ulcers and even skin lesions, which are too late to regret! Compared to white people, national keloids usually have a more severe keloid tendency, so the clinical treatment plan for keloids in China is more aggressive in terms of surgical treatment and the application of radiotherapy measures compared to international guidelines. The treatment of keloids should be tailored and combined. Anti-tumor chemotherapy and radiation therapy are generally not recommended for children and adolescents under 16 years of age, and non-surgical treatments such as silicone products, anti-scar topicals, and compression therapy may be used as the primary means of treatment. In adult patients, different treatment methods should be used for keloids according to their growth site, size and shape, and growth rate. Common treatment measures include surgery, drug injection, radiation therapy, and compression therapy. For smaller keloids, direct surgical excision combined with postoperative radiotherapy or drug injections can be used; for larger keloids, excisional skin grafting or flap transfer repair can be used, with expanded flaps being the most common repair method, and postoperative radiotherapy or drug injections are still extremely important to prevent recurrence. Keloid scars are routinely supplemented with laser, silicone products, and compression therapy after surgery, which are essential to reduce recurrence and relieve itching and pain. In conclusion, the treatment of keloid scars is a combination of multiple methods. While a single treatment method may be less effective, comprehensive treatment can greatly reduce the recurrence rate of keloid scars. Therefore, it is important that you choose a regular hospital and a professional doctor for the standardized treatment of keloid scars.
