The Right Way to Treat Keloid Scars
Surgery, injuries, and cuts will more times than not leave a scar. Unfortunately every scar is not as basic a leaving a mark at the site of the skin injury. There is a scar known as a keloid that grows beyond the borders of the original skin injury.
Women and people with highly pigmented skin have the highest contraction rate for this type of scar. However keloids are not limited to just those subsets of people as anyone can get them. The sternum, upper arm, and upper back are the main regions where this type of scar is found. Due to piercing of ears, keloids have had a high rate of growing on earlobes.
It is not fully understood as to exactly how or why keloid scars grow so abnormally. What has been found as the most common factors are skin trauma, muscle tension, and an infection at the site of the injury. It appears that as well hereditary factors come into play as family members are known to share formation traits of keloids. What is recommended to prevent this type of scar is mainly confined to not piercing any part of the body nor getting any tattoos. Let your doctor know of any keloid formation within your family before any surgery. After they do form there exists some option you can take to promote their diminishment with the overall goal of keloid removal.
One would hope that surgically removing them would solve the problem right away. Nonetheless there is more than a 50% chance a new keloid scar will form over the surgery wound that was inflicted in the effort to get rid of the original keloid scar. The alternative type of treatment of laser removal unfortunately has about the same rate of recurrence.
On the other hand merged along with other treatment plans surgery can result with a lower possibility the reformation of the scar. Radiation therapy following the surgical removal of the scar is a treatment that can limit the regrowth of a new keloid by up to 70% studies have shown. Having said that what could be the side effects associated with applying radiation could easily outweigh its treatment of a benign skin scar. Malignancy is one's main fear in this regard.
Another option to use would be cryosurgery but its side effect of leaving permanent hyperpigmentation on people with darker skin limits its use.
A keloid treatment that does not leave any of these unwanted side effects consists of an effective skin cream that contains all natural ingredients along with the use of Helix Aspersa Muller, or snail serum. Keloid scars are treated successfully by this cream because the scar's tissues are regenerated by the molecular properties found in snail serum. Keloid scar removal tried with a skin care cream such as BIOSKINREPAIR entails initiating the skin's regenerative processes and orchestrating the biosynthesis and deposition of new collagen.
