keloids don't fit anybody.Run away from it.There is always a way out because whatever has a beginning,most times,has an end.

Top Twelve Tips:How to Stop Keloid Before It Stops You - Exposed by World's Best Dermatologists!

1.Dressings — Moist wound coverings made of silicone gel sheets have been shown in studies to reduce keloid prominence over time. This treatment is safe and painless.

2.Corticosteroid injections — A great many keloids are successfully removed by injecting them with a steroid compound. Injections with triamcinolone acetonide or another corticosteroid medicine typically are repeated at intervals of four to six weeks. This treatment may reduce keloid size and irritation, but injections are uncomfortable.

3.Cryosurgery — Smaller keloids can be frozen off by means of an extremely cold probe. This freezing treatment with liquid nitrogen is repeated every 20 to 30 days. It can cause a side effect of lightening the skin color, which limits this treatment's usefulness.

4.Compression — This involves using a bandage or tape to apply continuous pressure 24 hours a day for a period of six to 12 months. Such compression can provide a thinning effect on the skin.

5.Radiation therapy — This therapy is controversial because radiation increases the risk of cancer. Radiation treatments may reduce scar formation if they are used soon after a surgery, during the time a surgical wound is healing.

6.Laser therapy — This is an alternative to conventional surgery for keloid removal. There is no good evidence that keloids are less likely to recur after laser therapy than after regular surgery.

7.Experimental treatments — On treatment that is showing promise is injecting keloid scars with medicines that were developed to treat autoimmune illnesses or cancers. Treatments with these medicines (various types of interferon and the chemotherapy agents 5-fluorouracil and bleomycin) will need to be evaluated further before they are appropriate for use outside of research studies.

8.Removal with conventional surgery - Where such measures are unsuccessful, or where the keloid is very large, surgical removal may be necessary. The problem with surgery, however, is that the new scar may result in the formation of a keloid, but this can usually be avoid by post-operative X-ray treatment.

9.Avoid piercing - Do not pierce any part of your body,especially your facial region which includes your ear because that may lead to keloid.

10.Avoid injuries

11. Avoid scars

12.Avoid all forms of accident because accident leads to injuries and scars
