- Skin biopsy- It may be required to differentiate with other skin tumors.
Conventional Treatment for Keloid
- Surgical removal- It is more risky as it causes formation of recurrence of Keloid at the site of surgical incision.
- Laser treatment- It is more beneficial and safe. It is not very painful. It helps in regression of the Keloid by suppressing the proliferation of Keloid fibroblast.
- Corticosteroid injections- It is used as a first line of treatment where injection is given at the site of the Keloid. It helps in flattening the Keloid.
- Radiation- It is used after surgical removal of the Keloid. It is safe and effective and helps in reducing the recurrence of Keloids resulting from surgical excision.
- Cryotherapy- Liquid nitrogen is used to flatten the Keloid.
