Successful Homeopathic Treatment of Keloid Scars in a 6-Year-Old Child by Dr. Vikas Singhal
Abstract
What are Hypertrophic and Keloid Scars?
Keloids are hypertrophic scars that may develop from various types of physical injuries, such as mechanical wounds, surgical incisions, or laser tattoo removal. Caused by the overproduction of collagen, they are benign in nature; that is, they do not lead to cancer. However, they can appear unsightly and cause significant discomfort. Hypertrophic scars are raised, thickened masses of skin tissue that remain within the boundaries of the original wound. They are often firm to the touch and reddish in color, with many patients experiencing itching. These features can be particularly distressing if the scars appear on exposed areas of the body, affecting a patient’s confidence and comfort.
Conventional Keloid Scar Treatment Approach
Keloid scars form as a result of the body producing excessive scar tissue during wound healing. These may be caused by surgical scars, hypertrophic burn scars, or even minor injuries like ear piercing. The latter is known to cause earlobe keloids in many people. While surgical excision is a common method to remove keloid tissue, it carries a high risk of keloid formation returning, often larger than before. Laser therapy can reduce thickness and redness and improve the appearance of scar tissue, but it rarely offers a permanent solution on its own. Even combining surgical excision with laser therapy provides only temporary relief for many patients, as keloids tend to recur despite careful wound healing. Occasionally, a skin biopsy is needed before treatment, but overall, these conventional approaches often leave patients frustrated with the lack of long-term resolution.
Surgical Scar Removal – A Widely Accepted Yet Limiting Method of Managing Keloid Scars
Surgery is a common method to remove keloid scars, offering immediate improvement in appearance. However, keloids often recur, sometimes larger, and new scars or delayed healing can occur, making surgery a temporary solution.
The Present Case – Homeopathic Medicines for Keloid Scar Treatment
Chirayu, a 6-year-old boy, developed Keloid when he was 6. He came to Dr. Vikas Singhal in 2021 with complaints of Keloid. The lesions were located on the right side of the waist and above the penis, and the patient also suffered from a persistent burning sensation.
The grave nature of the disease at such a young age caused severe discomfort to the patient. Additionally, there were no guarantees, as the doctors clearly mentioned, that the problem may come back even after the surgery.
This led the parents to seek alternative treatment options. That’s when they found us – Dr. Singhal Homeo Clinic, Chandigarh. They consulted our expert, Dr. Vikas Singhal, and started the treatment in 2021.
Dr. Singhal carried out a comprehensive case study by noting the details, which included Chirayu’s medical history, lifestyle, emotional health, and other aspects. After the case-taking started, the treatment, Chirayu, was given individualized medicines for the Homeopathic Treatment of Keloid. Besides medicines, the parents were also provided with a customized 6-8 months’ diet plan.
Over the course of 2 years, consistent homeopathic treatment and parents’ commitment to healing their son led to significant improvements in the patient’s condition. The lesions became progressively softer and slowly vanished. Now, Chirayu is 9 years old, and his parents testified that his condition is now so much better. The problem is almost completely gone.
