I've been dealing with keloids on my chest for over 5 years. I went the allopathic route and my doctor used Cryotherapy plus steroid injections directly on them, which seemed to shrink them a bit. I also tried silicon gel sheets for a year. But now it's frustrating because I have 57 keloids in the same spot again, and the treatments only seemed to make a temporary difference. Is there any permanent solution for keloids that doesnt involve more steroid injections? Just wondering if allopathic medicine offers a clear treatment for keloids.

Question

I'm noticing a lot of small moles popping up on my face, and I'm curious about why they're appearing. I've been using neem and aloe vera face washes, along with Himalaya's day and night creams, hoping they'd help clear these moles up. Should I be doing something different, or is there a deeper reason for these moles showing up?
