Keloid Scar Treatment
Specialized care for raised, thickened scars.
Overview
Keloids are overgrowths of scar tissue that develop at the site of a skin injury. They can be itchy, painful, and cosmetically distressing. Unlike normal scars, keloids can grow larger than the original wound. Dr. Carol Ng offers intralesional steroid injections (Kenalog) to flatten and soften keloid scars. This treatment helps to reduce inflammation and stop the scar tissue from growing. Early treatment is recommended for the best results.

Common Questions
Can keloids be cut out?
Surgical removal alone often causes keloids to grow back even larger. Injections are usually the first line of treatment.
How many sessions are needed?
A series of injections spaced 4-6 weeks apart is typically required to see significant improvement.
