Keloid Scar on the back shoulder
I have a large keloid scar on my shoulder, about 3cm in length for 5 years. Recently, there will be tingling and itching. This scar was caused by an acne.
May I ask what method can be used to cure it? Thank you.

Greetings!
Thank you for your question. I understand your worries regarding your condition.
For your information, Keloids come from the overgrowth of scar tissue. Keloid scars tend to be larger than the original wound itself. They may take weeks or months to develop fully.
The definite treatment for keloid scar is by laser or surgery, but you also may want to try some home treatment for it such as:
- Use moisturizing oils to keep tissue soft
- Pressure dressing
- Avoid more injuries
- Use pressure pad or silicone gel pad after injury
I suggest you to visit a doctor in order to get a right treatment for your keloid problem.
