What is the best treatment for keloids on the chest?

Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Liu Qingyun
Intralesional injection is suitable for patients with smaller scars and shorter disease duration. Intralesional corticosteroid injections are commonly used to help soften scar tissue. Laser therapy is a non-invasive method appropriate for superficial keloids. By adjusting laser parameters, the appearance of keloids can be improved. Fractional laser is also an effective treatment that stimulates rapid proliferation of subcutaneous collagen and fibrous tissue, gradually making the skin smoother and more even. Cryotherapy with liquid nitrogen can freeze the skin, causing cells on the scar surface to die and the outer skin layer to peel off. It is recommended to choose an appropriate method under medical guidance to improve skin appearance.
