Keloid removal is performed to reduce or remove the raised scars that develop as a result of excessive collagen production during the healing process. Keloids may show up after surgery, acne, burns, injury, or even minor skin trauma. They are not hazardous but may cause discomfort, pain, itching, restricted movement, or cosmetic concerns. Early diagnosis helps determine an appropriate treatment plan and reduces the possibility of recurrence.
Our team at ILS Hospitals consists of highly experienced surgeons, wound care specialists, and dermatologists, ensuring that each patient receives the right care according to their medical symptoms and condition. During the treatment, the keloid is removed surgically, followed by additional therapies including corticosteroid injections, silicone therapy, pressure therapy, or advanced treatment options. However, the most appropriate approach is selected only after detailed evaluation to improve appearance, relieve symptoms, and restore skin function while protecting nearby tissues.
Keloid removal helps in reducing the size and thickness of the scar and improves the flexibility of the affected skin. Healthcare professionals suggest regular assessments during follow-ups, as every keloid responds differently to treatment; this further supports precise evaluation of the scar’s progress and planning further treatment, if necessary.
Post-treatment, patients are advised to keep the treated area clean and dry, avoid strenuous activities to prevent excessive strain on the healing scar, use prescribed scar management therapies as recommended, and attend regular follow-up appointments to monitor the scar and assess the response to treatment.
