To remove keloid scars, treatment options can be selected based on their severity. If the keloid is mild and not very prominent, pharmacological therapy may be chosen; commonly used medications include interferon, triamcinolone acetonide, mitomycin C, and botulinum toxin type A. For more pronounced keloid scars, clinical practice typically recommends surgical excision or laser therapy.
