Question
I've been dealing with keloid scars on my chest for the past 8 years and they're really bothering me. They don't look great and it's affecting my confidence. Can you recommend something to help with this?

One option is to use silicone gel sheets, such as Mepiform, applied directly to the keloid. Another option is to use corticosteroid injections, such as Kenalog, directly into the keloid to help reduce its size. In some cases, topical treatments like Mederma can also be beneficial. It is important to consult with a dermatologist to determine the best treatment plan for your specific situation.
